We've seen it up close a few times at their Toys for Tots event at the hangar in Akron. It's pretty cool. Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck. DBAP

They allowed us aboard for to take look. A big gust of wind came up and we got about 10' off the ground. My uncle was a WW2 blimp pilot on the the US New England coast on sub patrol. One story he told me about in poor weather conditions, they took off and flew approx 1 hour out over the Atlantic, and then turned around, and it took 23 hours to return to base. Might want to take snack with you. Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

The insurance business also hasn't done a lot of the things that people have accused it of doing. I'll correct flat-out wrong info when I see it, but I've also never denied that there have been some really [censored] things done by insurance companies.
