Hi there ---
   As a frequent reader of this newsgroup, and as a pilot
myself. (Since '77) I'd like to bring up a topic that has
little to do with the private pilot, but none-the-less has
intrigued me for many years...
   The topic for tonite is "airships." I have long been fascinated
by airships: blimps, derigables, zeplins. (This may have something 
to do with the fact that when I was 6 I went for a ride on the 
Goodyear blimp...anyway...) What I'd liek from the net crowd
is a rousing (or so-so, at least an opinion) discussion on the
topic of bring back the airship for use as a cargo ship and as
a pleasure liner for passengers...
   Viable? Trustworthy? Is it a navigation hazzard for small craft?
The ball is in your court...
