A new
Zeppelin (
Zeppelin NT with NT as in "New Technology"), the next generation of
Goodyear Blimps, it
scheduled for its first flight today. It is the first of three. The components have been built in my current home town Friedrichshafen and been shipped to
Goodyear to Ohio. There, the semi-rigid airship has been assembled.
BTW: Zeppelin flights in Germany can be booked at
Zeppelinflug and you can learn more about the Zeppelin history at the
Zeppelin Museum in
Friedrichshafen.
