His second flight not much later was in a Gulfstream II business jet while he was working for Gulfstream American Corporation as a draftsman.

In 1979 at the age of 19, after those two flights Jimmy signed up for flight training with the company flying club and since that time has flown aircraft ranging from a 1943 Stearman to Lear Jets.

After ten years and many hours spent flying banners over Orlando, Jimmy completed the purchase of the "Flying Circus" and continues the Orlando tradition started by Bob Snow in 1974.

As the new owners, Jimmy and his wife Robyn formed Rosie O'Grady's Aerial Advertising Company and provides aerial advertising offering banners, billboards, and skywriting the same way it has been done over Orlando for more than 20 years.

The Lightship Group: Aerial Camera Platform

The Lightship® is ideally suited to the role of an aerial TV camera platform owing to its ability to remain airborne for long periods and its high degree of maneuverability and low noise level.

It is a fact that the Lightship is the preferred airship amongst broadcasters for golf events due to its low noise output.

The cameras used on the Lightships are supplied and operated by Flying Pictures Live, a joint venture between The Lightship Group and Flying Pictures.

The Lightship has been used extensively by broadcasters across Europe, the USA and Australia for live coverage of important sporting and cultural events such as Formula 1 Grand Prix, US Tennis Open, Golfing tournaments, The 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics, the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Major League Baseball and the World Series, NFL and the Superbowl, NASCAR, Indycar and International soccer and rugby.

Aerial Advertising - Flying Billboards
billboard, lead pole, flight, hook.

We often attach custom messages with 7 foot red letters to the tail that can be changed every flight.

Many of our clients appreciate our ability to cover Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Tahoe as well.

For less frequent flights the billboard can be disassembled and shipped to the desired location.

The front of the billboard has a rigid pole made of fiberglass or aluminum sewn into the fabric, which keeps the leading edge open in flight.

The lead pole is weighted on the bottom to keep the billboard upright.

The pilot takes off with a hook, which is attached by a 25-foot line to the tail, on his lap.
