Yeah, 246 ft. is big, this is a little bigger. At 803.8 feet in length and 135.1 feet in diameter, the German passenger airship Hindenburg (LZ-129) was the largest aircraft ever to flyToo bad Zeppelins got such a bad rep in the thirties. Think what they 'd be like today. www.nlhs.com/interior.htm |

That would make a nice ride. It must cost a fortune to keep gas in it. Both hydrogen and helium have very small molecules that get through the smallest of holes and leak out. they can leak out of an air tight container. Right through the skin of most balloons. john
