Launched in October 2014, the Appliances Onlines Legend Blimp is 39 metres long and 11 metres wide - it's the largest blimp currently flying in the Southern hemisphere.
The Legend Blimp never gets deflated, and the 13-strong crew includes two qualified pilots, two licensed aviation engineers, a crew chief and a clerk, as well as ground staff that includes watch keepers and ground crew.
