Airships are (maybe) the single greatest thing to have, see,
touch, whatever. I love them - real ones, Zeppelin stlye, not
these baloons with engines - But they are no more since almost
50 years (the NT doesn't count in my opinion, since it is a
kind of a bastard - but still the most impessive I have seen
until today) - I whish I could have lives in the 30's - there
are a lot of old photographs with Zeppelin ships over Munich
(and of course also almost any other German city).

Gruss
Hans
