The world’s largest aircraft breaks cover in Silicon Valley. “At 124.5 meters long, Pathfinder 1 dwarfs the current Goodyear airships and even the massive Stratolaunch plane designed to launch orbital rockets.

Soviet diribles. Pictures of Soviet dirigibles.
I love Zeppelins, and you should too (via) Slides from my PyCon UK lightning talk on Zeppelins. I’ve annotated them using SlideShare comments.
АЭРОКРАТ КОНЦЕПТ (via) Another great Airship blog. I don’t speak Russian, but the photos and videos speak for themselves.
Historic Airship Pictures: the Shenandoah, the Los Angeles, the Akron and the Macon as well as the Zeppelins and many more. The US Navy built some truly beautiful airships back in the 1930s.
Up Ship!: New Branding. I hadn’t realised the Airpship Ventures Zeppelin (en route to San Francisco) is going to be used for the Stella Artois Star Over London promotion—they’ve just changed the livery.
Could Zeppelins soon grace our skies again? The new Zeppelin NT can travel at 125 mph, the same speed as a high speed train—and could cross the Atlantic in 43 hours. This is the same model Airship Ventures (the Californian startup) are using.
