The MetLife Blimp made a stop in OKC today. It visited downtown and Lake Hefner.

Here's a picture of it that I took over Lake Hefner. Sorry it's a little fuzzy. I had to decrease megapixels somewhat to get a greater zoom.

I'm guessing it is in town for the Senior PGA, or if not, it is on its way home from the Colonial in Ft. Worth.

Yeah, that's my guess! Must be nice to fly that thing. They looked like they were having a lovely afternoon strolling over Lake Hefner.

I think it is here for the PGA Senior Championship.

I seen it on the ground all lit up at Wiley Post last night. My guess is they are collecting some stock footage for NBC in case the weather is bad this weekend.

I noticed in the TV listings on my cable box that NBC will be airing the last two rounds on Saturday and Sunday from 11:30-2:30

They were probably getting shots of downtown to use on TV. I wouldn't be surprised.
