I team built one as a cadet at the Air Force academy years ago. we flew it a couple of home games but i think it has long been relagated to the library's collection. looking to design and build a new one using all new technology (alot has changed in 30 years....). any takers?

Density Altitude. Your biggest foe when it comes to operating DIRIGIBLES. It's a friggin science that everyone seems to think is real easy to do. I still have that 22 ft airship for sale in the swapshop. I think it needs a great big FLYING GIANTS logo on the envelope. Or at least an Eat at Joe's sign.
