Meet one of pilots of the Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson blimps circling San Antonio amid Final Four
SUMMARY: The Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson blimps have been flying over San Antonio during the Final Four.

They typically fly for 6 to 8 hours a day, especially during events. The pilot described their flying style as similar to a boat navigating air currents.
