blimp / zeppelin / dirigible around the world race??

[tom d. friedman]

was watching jay leno's monologue tonight & he made a joke about a proposed blimp / zeppelin / dirigible around the world race. he gets his monologue joke material through the news media so there must be something in the works!! can anyone elaborate???

There was a lengthy article about it in the Wall Street Journal last week.

It's legitimate; a wealthy guy is working hard to organize it, but no official entrants thus far.

Don't rush out to stock up on 5 hour energy drinks or triple shot lattes' Sounds almost as exciting as bicycle drag racing

Hmm Met Life Snoopy Blimp, couple of General Electric J85's... Could be a fun sprint to the finish...

'ah....25 ZULU, caution for bag turbulence following the AETNA gas bag on short final...' That brings up a very long standing argument and question, is it possible to stall a blimp?
