Direct TV airship crew member Daniel Tolbert jumps from the blimp Wednesday afternoon while it blew around its mooring at the Middle Georgia Regional Airport. Blustery weather made flying the ship impossible crew members said as they looked forward to calmer skies Thursday. The 175-ft. long blimp--with a big screen television affixed to one of its sides--was heading for Nashville and other points north after wintering near the home base of Orlando.
