So cool to see! Think it was cruising at 36 knots. Shes electric!

So rare to see a blimp without advertising.

Some if not most of you will absolutely not feel the same, but the sight and memory of Pathfinder 1 gracefully sailing by our shop like a great ivory white tall ship of the sky and off into the distance moved me to actual tears multiple times. I was not prepared. This 400 foot ship of dreams is to me, the most beautiful and awe inspiring flying machine I have laid my eyes upon, truly a marvel of human engineering and a window into the past of airships.

This is not just another non rigid blimp, or even a semi rigid but a true rigid airship like the big zeps of the 1930s but with a carbon and titanium frame, modern fabric outer skin that isn't painted with rocket fuel and lifted by several gas cells full of non flammable, but expensive Helium. She is also diesel electric and driven by 12 props distributed along the hull and tail.
