Aeros 40B in Malmsheim

On June 29th, 2001 the Commerzbank Blimp stopped in Malmsheim for some advertising and flights in the Stuttgart area. The blimp was also used as a camera platform for the German National Athletics Championships in Stuttgart. This was the first time that an Aeros 40B blimp was in our area so I took the opportunity to get some photos.
