A blurb from July 7, 2005 (my bold):

"U.S. to Use Blimps in Iraq
Meanwhile, the army announced this week it is buying 16 tactical blimps to use in Iraq. The cost of the unmanned, tethered blimps is estimated at $12 million. The blimps are part of a contract the Army has with Raytheon Corporation. The airship's use was demonstrated last fall over Washington, when an A-170 manned blimp hovered over the city for 24 hours. Blimps have also recently been used to monitor protests such as the demonstrations against the Republican National Convention in New York last year."
