It’s the Despicablimp, one of only 15 airships flying in the world today and this Movie Geek got to ride in it when it was in St. Louis this morning to promote Universal Studio’s hilarious DESPICABLE ME 2, which opened July 3rd and is still in theaters (read my review HERE).db2-560

The Despicablimp can accommodate 8 passengers and one pilot.

Pilot Alan Judd took us 1000 feet in the air at 33 knots from the Alton Regional Airport though the skies of downtown Alton, over the Clark Bridge and the Missippippi River.
