Airships

Some of my favourite airship pictures. I wish they had never gone out of style, it must have been an amazing feeling to look up and see a 600-foot or longer airship hovering overhead.
Such marvels of engineering.









Blimps just don't cut it, do they?
Bring back rigid airships!

...I wish.

For the record, these are NOT my photos and I do NOT remember where I got them from. Sorry.

  1. I read an article about how they might be coming back in as cargo vehicles, what with the rising cost of gas and stuff.

    You may have been the one who sent the article.

  2. Yes, but they're ugly as hell and I think only semi-rigid. The US Army was considering it for a while, but I doubt it'll happen. Maybe Fedex will take it up? Seems more likely.
