I think the title of my blog makes it pretty clear that what I plan on sharing here is my interest and fascination with lighter-than-air (LTA) flying machines.
It all began many years ago when my family and I were on vacation down on Cape Cod. Early one evening, as we were enjoying an after dinner ice cream, we heard a strange humming sound coming from somewhere above us. It wasn't too long before we could finally see the nature of the beast making all the noise, a Goodyear blimp! It was floating along at about 200 feet above us; the whole side lit up with thousands of little white lights. We watched it sail along for several minutes until it disappeared behind the trees.
Well, that was it. I was hooked! I wanted to know all there was to know about blimps. At that point I had no idea as to what I was getting myself into. But, it has been, and continues to be, a wonderful and enjoyable adventure ever since.
