Portakabins - always thought this was a good name for the British product! Took me a while to figure out how to say it. Airships - we've had a descendant of the Zeppelin flying around San Diego. It holds a Farmers Insurance logo. ![]() The Farmer's blimp is not a blimp The Farmers Insurance blimp is not a blimp; it’s a Zeppelin NT, built by a corporate descendant of the same firm that created the Hindenburg. Unlike a blimp, which has no rigid framework and maintains its shape like a balloon, the Zeppelin NT is built around a framework of aluminum and high-strength carbon-fiber. And it’s not owned or operated by Farmers Insurance. The airship is actually named Eureka, and it’s owned and operated by a company called Airship Ventures. |

I read this recently in Popular Mechanics... How to Fly a Zeppelin Airship I've been reading about the resurrection of airships for about as long as I've been reading that oil shale was the energy solution and that we'd all have flying cars in our home garages. I don't regard any of those things as at all likely any more. All of them may exist in a few niches, but they'll never be common. Big Al |
