Zeppelin ho!
Weirdo:
I am very sad. There is an honest-to-Dice Zeppelin in my area right now, but tours aboard the airship are $375 per person. :'(
I'll try to get over to Alliance Airport sometime before it leaves, and snap some pictures.

In California? Yeh I saw on teh news that a business started up and two airships run (only two in teh US) Id LOVE to go on one. You can even open the windows and stick your head out!

Man, I hope it comes to somewhere near my area. I might be able to scrounge up the cash for a tour. I could sell some miniatures, or maybe a few relatives I don't like...

GEnuine endoskeletal zeppelin, or "just" a mid-sized motorised blimp? (See "View to a Kill")
I was lucky enough to see a motorised blimp up close under unusual circumstances. It was at a local airfield, obviously testing its control surfaces as I was driving by - I pulled over, entranced, to watch. It was literally leaping & rolling like a dolphin, albeit slower. Truly wonderful to watch.

Says Zeppelin on teh site. From what Ive read they are state of the art made in germany and are the largest things in the air in the US. Bigger than those goodyear blimps
