The MetLife blimp "Snoopy 2" has been hovering around Joplin lately.

It was flying back from a football game in Wisconsin over the weekend and needed a place to stop on it's way to a corporate event in Dallas.

The blimp is 128 feet high and holds 69,000 cubic feet of helium.

Only about four people and the pilot can fly in the blimp at one time.
