Speaking for myself, I’d hop a blimp to somewhere, with no second thoughts. Wondering though about how much headwinds affect travel times? But I guess if it’s leisure travel at a leisurely pace, who cares, right?

And Mitch, I like the way you think!

I don’t think blimps could ever be as big as standard air-travel, unless the price difference is huge. Most people don’t want to be trapped in a giant explosive balloon any longer than they have too, oddly. I guess there could be a market for the novelty of being in a blimp. but business people (I assume) typically want to get from A to B as soon as possible. Sure, the volcano is making things difficult right now, but not long from now flights will be back to normal and blimps will sadly go back to the history books. A train track across the Atlantic, however…now that’s an idea I can get behind!

Actually, blimp travel has a good future, I think. The big hurdle to it will be the speed issue. Most people (especially Americans) are in a hurry. A transatlantic blimp would take significantly longer. However, like a train, you could save money, actually have room to work and sleep, and see scenery.
I actually have experience in aerospace and would love to see a resurgence of the blimp.

Thats alot of drinking time. Just think Nashville to LA by train you could drink sober up and then drink again. I am in especially if the drinks are served by young women with a couple of blimps of their own.

Martin I wrote the post early this morning and didn’t want to call Kitt to ask him to ok the pics cause I thought he might be sleeping. Anyway I figured I’d preserve his anonymity a bit if possible.

Bac, yup I guess it was a blind taste test! LOL.
