When you recieve your blimp package it will contain two advertising blimps. The first can be boarded and flown anywhere in Second Life (anywhere that won't eject you!), The second blimp is exactly the same except it has no flight script. Instead when you rez it, it will fly in a circle above your land, with the advertising banner following behind.
You can pick up your Advertising Blimp from the Marketplace.
