Zeppelins Back

The Fanzine

27.10.08

In case you read the title quickly, there was no apostrophe there. So no it’s not another Page/Plant reunion, and even though the only other two Zeppelin airships in the world are in Germany and Japan, again no we haven’t been transported to the 1930s. But Zeppelins are back in the skies over America for the first time in 70 some odd years. If you aren’t scraping for dough right now you can purchase a ticket from this California based company Airship Ventures and tour the wine country near San Francisco, have a wedding party, etc. And don’t worry about someone screaming “Oh the humanity!” as you tumble in a fireball from the sky at the end of your journey. The new Zeppelins are filled with nonflammable helium rather than hydrogen. We’ll save the hydrogen for new fuel cell Pintos…  Art by Danny Jock.
