Airships

hindenburg-promendade015web

I’ve been dreaming about the return of these “air yachts”, lofted by helium rather than explosive hydrogen, since the day in 1973 I rode the old Goodyear blimp. Slid back the passenger window and listened to a dog barking below. Ah, someday.

This good history site about the Hindenburg (above) the Graf Zeppelin and assorted others will have to do for now. Unless you can hook a ride on Zeppelin’s new Goodyear semi-dirigible. But it doesn’t have private, sleeping cabins or a viewing promenade.
