Country:  | I'd rather go for a cruise in a large dirigible than on board a ship, what a way to see the world. | |

Country:  | Until it goes Hindenburg on you. I would like to fly an airship, but not during combat, something about all that lighter than air gas around you doesn't seem very reassuring. | |

Country:  | I would also like to see airships fly again and that, at least today, is possible because they would be a lot safer than those back in 30s. | |

| My Father had a flight in the Hindenburg before it went down and could never get over the size of the thing, and the luxury built into it. | |

Country: | Not to dredge an old thread or anything (which is exactly what I'm doing, heh) but anyone here play Crimson Skies? Sure, it's not realistic, but you had zeppelins and stuff along with cool customizable planes. | |
