Lighted Sanyo Airship (Blimp - Zeppelin) at Night

At the kind request of my (new) friends of http://airshipworld.blogspot.com/ I creating this full-length video of the SANYO Airship (a.k.a. blimp) passage at night during 1997 Miramar Air Show "Twilight Show". That was a great coincidence because the blimp was here in San Diego to fly above the downtown stadium as a game sponsor. It got time to "drop by" at visited us during the show. You'll see an interesting "drop n' go" feature.

I had my handhld scanner with me and I recorded the voice traffic of the blimp pilot with the show's Air Boss, in the control tower.

I was part of the ground crew for this airship during 2006 to 2007.

Dear All,

I have some questions about psychology:

(1) Why do we love flying?

(2) Why do we enjoy to fly airships?

(3) How does the feeling of flying on an airship different from that of flying on an aeroplane?

(4) Why do we want to design and to build new airships in this "jet age"?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)
