I Love Zeppelins. Always did. I sincerely hope to see them up in the skies again in their old sizes and glory once again. I would give my left arm to have seen the Hindenburg in the air and considered it a great shame the Cargolifter concept never really made it.

Thumbs up, Tommies, sincerely hope you get those things up and running again and maybe jump start a world wide trend! =)

I really nope you didn't watch the Hindenburg movie which was recently on RTL - what an insult to all Zeppelin fans!
They also want to sell this flic to other countries - so be aware international community!

Yes, I know, but then the saying "throwing in 2 cents" doesn't make any sense...
(still having some 50 öre coins at home, I will cut them in 25 pieces to thrwo in my 2 öre )

Guilty as charged, watched it and I gotta puke so often I lost count of it.

She ship was gloriously rendered, though, so I will wait for a version cutting all the Zep scenes together without the rest.

Do you know the documentary of the diary of Lady Grace Drummond-Hay?
Ran on Arte and Phoenix a bit ago. Great material to imagine how it must have been on board.

Chances are low we'll ever see such grace again in the air as the Hindenburg resembled, but anyways, the concept alone is so incredible inspiring, I seriously hope we will see those giants back in the air some day.

Would be nice if this would take off (pardon the pun), and be successful.

I hope they have better luck than England had in the past with Airships. Google R-101. Government meddling at it's best.
