Cool.

It must have been an awesome sight, back at the turn of the 20th century.

I think there's still room for zeppelins in today's world.

[bayonetbrant]

yes, but claims of their capabilities have been inflated for years

[bob48]

Blown out of all proportion in fact.

[bayonetbrant]

too bad airship flight is just a shell of its former self

[bayonetbrant]

in an industry run by a bunch of total gasbags

You do know that Jimmy Page was earlier in a successful band with Eric Clapton, The Yardbirds?
He had no luck doing something different, so he started another band, The New Yardbirds.
The London Times reviewed their first release.  "The New Yardbirds are so bad, they shall sink under the waves, like a lead zeppelin."
He found inspiration in these words.

I had heard that Keith Moon told Jimmy Page that Jimmy's new band would either take off or crash like a lead zeppelin.
