Well said divisioneight.Still very vivid memories of that day.It was quite relaxing to to leisurely walk about the cabin and look out the windows.It was most fun conversing with Kate and Fritz during the flight about aviation subjects as well as other light conversation.
When's the last time you could get up out of your seat, wander around the aircraft, and chat with the pilots while looking over their shoulders? This is the fun, the adventure and the glory of air flight, as it once used to be, as it should be.
It was great time indeed.If you've ever piloted an aircraft,it's far different than say a light airplane. Even with the state of the art fly by wire flight controls it still takes time to manuever.The older blimps such as the Goodyear use just rudder pedals to steer and a large wheel by the pilot's seat on the right to pitch up and down.Adjusting the ballonets are used to balance the ship.If you are a licensed pilot ,it's ride well worth the expense.
