The Flight of the Saltire

[emolas]

You know, I'm very near there. If the Saltire comes my way, and I can do it without being arrested by the MPs, I'll gladly take a picture of the Saltire at Lakehurst Naval Air Station.

I used to be stationed there back in the 80's for Parachute Rigger school. The place had the biggest hangar I've ever seen.

Hanger 1 at Lakehurst is where the Hindenberg was supposed to go. It's almost 300 feet high, and 800-some feet long, though a lot of it has now been turned into parts of the Ocean County VoTech. It is big enough to have its own weather inside, though!

I just attended the largest gathering of lighter than air aircraft in the world, the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. One aircraft was missing, the Saltire!! Something MUST be done about this!!! Next October the Saltire simply must stop here during the first full week for Balloon Fiesta

I hope to be the first Washingtonian to be affiliated with the flight of the Saltire when I head to Victoria on the 1st.

If the Saltire needs a stopover in Utah, I'll give her a berth. Mayby Mr. Handy and me could meet up and do some notable sites with the good ship.
