NUTTY LINKS, THE ANSWER TO THE REAL LINKS PAGE, PLUS NEWS SECTION FOR AIRSHIP & BLIMP CONSULTANT
THE FOLLOWING LINKS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR SERIOUS HELIUM SNIFFING FANS.
IF YOU ARE JUST A NORMAL AIR BREATHER, CHECK OUT THE BREAKING NEWS FOR AIRSHIP & BLIMP CONSULTANT: www.hybridairship.net
BADGE FOR SALE:
This is a gilt employee badge for a crewmember of the D-LZ 129 HINDENBURG.
It has a MÜNCHEN maker mark and a serial number on the back.
It measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter.
The condition is near-excellent, showing some minor cover wear from routine use.
(I was told it has no burn marks, as it was worn by a real fast runner in the crew, who
only got minor burns at Lakehust. Not sure why it has made in China on the back)
CARIBBEAN GOLD MEDAL AND DOMAIN FOR SALE
Like the badge, domain www.airship.me is still for sale, through GoDaddy domain auctions.
I also have a new all gold medal for the 5th summit of the Americas, awarded to an airship captain
with the Skyship 600L based in the Caribbean for sale and it includes my own certificate.
There are no burn marks visible.

After the Expo, they set up a...See More permanent base for the blimp in Saitama and received permission from the Transport Ministry in 2007 to start running passenger cruises. Nippon Yusen transferred ownership of the blimp but the new corporation was hit by the downturn. The article mentions that negotiations are underway with new potential sponsors.
