Madison Manning, 11, of Laurel, reaches for headphones after he and his mother, Donna Manning, boarded a blimp at Vicksburg Municipal Airport Friday. The two took a one-hour tour of the area in the blimp which has circled Warren County's skies all week. The trip was sponsored by the Believe in Tomorrow Children's Foundation, which provides services to families of critically ill children such as Madison, who has cystic fibrosis. The blimp, which bears the name AVICTA complete cotton seed treatment, is 132 feet long, holds 70,000 cubic feet of helium and travels at 25-30 mph. It was piloted by Bret Viets. This is a sweetthing!
