Re: [flummi] Video: jump from zeppelin in Germany
Somebody help me out. I don't even have sound. Is that a zeppelin or a blimp? I see engions on the sides but I wasn't aware that any one was flying ridged air ships any more.

Did you ever see the Goodyear blimp as a kid before they quit flying them? I think at least one company in the States stills flys one like it for advertising. They're basically a giant semi-rigid balloon made out of a tire-like rubber.

Goodyear still flies their blimps. And they have more than one. Not sure of the construction, but I don't think they are made of tire-like rubber.

I should have said "Before they closed the Goodyear Blimp base in Houston, Tx." But, really, it is made out of a rubber type material.
