I know it's kind of like asking for a new battleship...but the 12 year old in me would love to see someone build one of these again...why not? $$$$$$

Ironic you should mention "asking for a new battleship"... I've always wondered if there was any intra-service conflict or rivalry in the Navy about funding for aircraft carriers as opposed to dirigibles. Did anyone (besides General Billy Mitchell, I assume?) publicly consider the airships as operational dead ends and the money better spent on developing aircraft and carriers?

I love those big Airships

I would not mind if my tax dollars went to one of those babies

(My dad even managed to sneak a 3' long Hindenburg model into our living room and hang it up with out my mom killing him :lol:

Actually, you guys might be surprised at some of the concepts on the drawing boards for large cargo haulers... in a word the idea ain't dead yet<g>....
