A couple years ago, an airship moored at Orlando Executive Airport for an event. The area where airships moor is in an area used by helicopters as a practice area.One day, a student was using the practice area & an airship was also moored in the practice area. The student called the tower for takeoff clearance, but seemed a bit confused by the controller telling him to avoid the airship.
