I heard about this, they are trying to bring zeppelins back into popularity.

Did you know that at one time the US. Navy did experiment with zeppelin aircraft carriers. Then later with B-36's. The first attempt worked well until the Zeps started crashing, the second, not so much. 3 test pilots were killed and they abandoned the project.

I'd like to buy a zeppelin one day. And then I'll go round the world.... yeah, yeah, I know you've heard this story before. XD

There are much cheaper ways to do that.

*interesting thought, goes off to research*

Surprise surprise. There is at least one webiste with infomation about building your own.

and another

Apparently, "buid your own blimp" get more accurate hits than "build your own zeppelin", which brings up mostly Led Zeppelin relatdd stuff.

dude, Sabbath isn't good enough to open for Zeppelin, I love Sabbath, but Zeppelin is pure awesomeness. lol.

Gen. Volkov · January 28, 2006, 09:04:49 PM

Pah. Sabbath pwns Zeppelin.

Holby · January 28, 2006, 11:12:59 PM

Led Zeppelin betterer, no question about it. I'm a Black Sabbath fan, too, but they have nothing on my precious Zeppelin.

Gen. Volkov · January 29, 2006, 05:35:36 PM

LOL. I like, ok love, Zeppelin, but for me, you just can't get much better than Iron Man.

Holby · January 29, 2006, 06:01:49 PM

That's like Neo's favourite song. darn RAFers.

Blood Wake · January 30, 2006, 04:46:51 PM

I hate that song so much. lol. its way too over-rated. Paranoid, thats a good one, and War Pigs is really good too.

Gen. Volkov · January 30, 2006, 07:18:04 PM

Ooo... War Pigs. That song pwns. LOL Wake hates Iron Man, I find that extremely funny for some reason. LOL.

Is it then Holbs? Sweet. RAF! S!
