**Scylla** , I have certainly had a laugh after reading that link. I do owe you an apology though. I never opened the thread in the pit to see what it was about. I thought after reading your descriptive title “The Horror of Blimps” that it was just another one of those fat people vs. airplane threads. Never again will I judge a thread by it’s title and I am really sorry. I know I’ll do the honors :smack: Congrats! ---
