Airship

I did not take the pics. Its got American rego and advertises Holden. It lights up at night and has a moving sign on it. I've "run into it" when flying both in day time and once at night.

Interesting to watch it "land". It comes in at about 1000 ft (circuit height) turns its nose into the wind then nose dives at about 45 degrees to the waiting ground crew. They've got a pole for it between the grass runways at Camden NSW.

There is a video at this link where you can see it being assembled. http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/...rshipframe.jsp
