They have a Zeppelin museum there. <br />http://www.zeppelin-museum.de/<br /><br />It's where they manufactured them. I seriously believe that as the technology has improved so much that in twenty years we will be using them for commercial flights at high altitude next to no emissions, safer etcetera. Think of the possible lifting power they have for use in construction etc...<br /><br />The Museum is great, but they do throw you out if you don't have a ticket...Administratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028259430483576141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557024356129268987.post-62515581343710189672009-09-22T18:34:37.253+01:002009-09-22T18:34:37.253+01:00Thanks DarrellThanks DarrellConan the Librarian™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01904339261121451779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557024356129268987.post-28568554463056067522009-09-22T15:12:36.708+01:002009-09-22T15:12:36.708+01:00hmmmmm..

I wonder if we could ever get back to the more leisurely pace of travel they offer, probably not. Mind you, cruise ships seem to be popular again and they're not exactly speedy compared to air travel.Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532506690426639326noreply@blogger.com
