You get more exercise out of a treadmill if it’s on an inclined plane. Thought you might like to know.

Plane? Treadmill? I’ll leave it alone 😉

The Goodyear Blimp based in Akron has a huge hangar at the Fulton local airport. We always used to drive by on the way to Strickland’s for frozen custard.

Here’s a link to a view of the [hanger](http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=26.248217,-80.117412&spn=0.007111,0.009377&t=h&z=17) in Pompano beach. When I flew the blimp they just had the mooring mast, the hanger was built later.
