So I have a hankering to build a blimp.

Anyone know who I could contact about this? I think it's time I started building my own blimp. I'll also need a pilot because I plan on being drunk every time I ride in it.

mike_v_s seems like a natural person to consult.

On the other hand, midway through our flight/cocktail party he actually said, "Helium? Really? I'll be damned. Well I just bought the USS Lou Diamond for the sheer luxuriousness
of it. I don't care how it works."

He can certainly school you on how to cut a dashing figure in a dirigible though. He's a classy guy and a born blimp captain.

I don't think I'd make a good pilot, but I'm in for a drunken blimp cruise over OC.

I know I've been scarce round these parts lately,...but I haven't seen a Mike_V_S post in a while (emphasis on the h).

I know nothing about building or piloting dirigibles, but I will gladly join you for a drunken blimp ride! Don't worry, I'm a fun, happy drunk.
We'll bring our basses!

Dirigibles and blimps are two different beasts.

NEWSFLASH - Second unexplained missile launch occurs in CA.
Shattered bong found. Experts say that it might have been a flaming blimp. Da ganja likely ignited the interior gasses. Smiling Caucasian male seen in stratosphere by space shuttle pilots

I've never built a blimp, but I was married to one for several years. They seem to run on Dorritos, cokes, and NO grilled cheese sandwiches.
