I read that the Zeppelin-NT company is in a process of opening an operation center in San Francisco.

This company operates in Germany and offers tours in the Zeppelin.

Zeppelin offers 30- to 60-minute sight-seeing tours, flying at heights between 500 and 1000 feet. It charges teh equivalent of a few hundred dollars per person, with a capacity of 12 passengers. Bringing something like this to the USA and operating it somewhere scenic sounds like an absolutely fantastic idea, both in the positive sense and as in “pure fantasy.

Sounds like something worth a ride and for those of you who are curious this is what it looks like

Recently I read a post about science fiction describing the possibility of all commercial aircraft fleet vanishing. Of course it was a fantasy, but the discussion raised an interesting issue. In the age of global warming Airships can offer a cleaner alternative when vapour trails are concerned. Maybe a little effort can be made to check the possibilities in this mode of transportation. In the meantime found you a fun link from YouTube, enjoy.
