My grandfather, who had served in WW1, always referred to airships as 'Zeppelins'.
It wasn't the stuff of everyday conversation, but a Goodyear airship was touring the UK at the time and 'Zeppelin' was how he described it.

Every so often, airships make something of a comeback but then disappear never to be seen again.

Here's the latest incarnation:

Incidentally, it was at Cardington about sixty miles North of London.

Unfortunately, its second test flight didn't go too well.

Technically, an airship is a rigid hulled dirigible which carries bags of gas to provide lift. What we see nowadays is a blimp, a flying gasbag which is not rigid and is more akin to a balloon.

Chopper = 0, Cow = 1.

Quote:

Police are investigating the crash of a Robinson R22 Beta mustering helicopter, after its pilot allegedly struck a cow whilst herding cattle on a Coen Cattle Station on Sunday September 18.

It’s believed the rails underneath the helicopter got tangled up in the cows horns causing the chopper to lose balance.

Police from Coen were called to the incident just after 2.40pm with reports the helicopter had crashed onto the Peninsula Development Road 15km south of Coen.

As a result of the rough landing the helicopter has caught fire and been totally destroyed. The Rural Fire Service attended the crash site and extinguished the aircraft.

The pilot a 35-year-old Richmond man walked away from the crash without any injury.

The cow escaped becoming roast beef and lived to roam another day.

Holy crap! Those things aren't even safe on the ground!

Much better bigger. You can see it coming.

I was surprised he still had a hand. He was complaining that it was hurt, but I expected the whole arm to be gone.

A different angle of the same incident:

A Greek Apache lands at the beach. Kinda.

Gravdigr · 09-27-2016, 01:36 PM

If that plane actually caused that, somebody would've sued somebody.

The Blue Angels are notorious for flat-hatting that beach during practice in the off-season. The hoi polloi are aware of this.
