SUMMARY: The Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson blimps have been flying over San Antonio during the Final Four. Nick Matis visited Stinson Municipal Airport to learn about their operations and interviewed a pilot. The blimps travel at approximately 30 mph, with a crew of 13 managing each flight. 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. The blimps are equipped with lights, making them noticeable at night. The presence of Barkley and Johnson provokes humor, particularly regarding Barkley’s comments on San Antonio residents.

You’ve probably seen them circulating the San Antonio area all week before the 2025 NCAA Men’s Final Four at the Alamodome.
