Airship Videos of the Week #1 of 2009
Happy new year to everyone. I am back from my small hiatus November and December the end of the year was quite busy for me in my daily life but I am back and I have lots of great posts in the queue. Starting of the year I am starting a new weekly post of the Videos of the Week, mostly found from YouTube. They are available as a Playlist on YouTube as well as on Delicious. You can watch them in the embedded player below.
Highlights include a video of the Airship Ventures Zeppelin featuring Chris Humphrey who came up with the name Eureka for the new Zeppelin. A video of the Zeppelin NT for the 100th anniversary of the first Zeppelin flight. An interesting presentation on the idea of a container hauling blimp, an interetsing discussion topic for the mailinglist. Avideo of the Christening of the Goodyear Blimp "Spirit of America". A video of the Japanese Zeppelin doing ground procedures and then taking of. So lean back and enjoy.
If you happen to find a really great video that you want to share, send us an email to airshipworld at gmail dot com with votw in the subject line or tag it on Delicious as for:gruni airshipworld votw.

Believe in Tomorrow Children's Foundation - Blimp Video
We have mentioned before that the AVICTA Complete Cotton Airship is flying missions for the Believe in Tomorrow Children's Foundation. Today we found this great video of the airship taking a kid for a ride. It's always great to see the joy peoples faces when they see an airship.
Also check out the Believe In Tomorrow YouTube channel for more videos. For example this one which features the Sanyo Blimp
[Updated]I have corrected the link to the first video. It was taken down and re uploaded. Now you can enjoy it again.

Goodyear Blimp Accident ?
I just found this video of the Goodyear Blimp on YouTube.
The info to the video states that the video is from 5/27/1995 in Carson,California so it's a few years ago but I couldn't find anything about a Goodyear Blimp Accident on the web at that time. But maybe I haven't searched enough.
Do you know anything about this incident ? Let us know and discuss it in our Forum or send us an Email or post a comment in the comments section of this post.
Also you might have seen these new links right below the post. Using these links you can share our articles with the rest of the world. Right now we provide links for del.icio.us, Digg, and StumbleUpon which are the most popular social bookmarking sites on the web that allow you to share those articles that you like. Do you want more or less options? Do you maybe want to be able to send an article as email to someone? Let us know we are happy to add anything that you ask us to and that makes sense.

Today we would like to present a nice Video of the Metlife Blimp Snoopy 2 starting from Fredericksburg VA and other videos of the Blimps. Snoopy 2 is one of the currently 3 Metlife Blimps. Snoopy 3 got introduced just this August, to honour 20 years of the Metlife Blimp Program. So if you do the math the first Metlife Blimp got introduced in 1987 and extended in 1994 to read more about it, read our post about the Metlife Blimp Program with more background information and links.
The video was filmed by Jerry Casper who is also interested a H0 scale (1/87th) blimp to use in a diorama. If you know where to get one of those, or how to build one, please put your feedback into the comments section or send us an email.

YouTube airship video for the break
Since we have been very busy the last 4 days we didn't really have time to catch up with the current news, this week we will try to catch up, and then trying to empty our queue of older "news" items that might not be so new anymore but still worth mentioning. To report about something different then the Airship parade our reader Allan Janus made our life easy today by pointing out two videos on YouTube that we haven't mentioned yet. The first Video is a video of a little RC-Blimp built by Benjamin Lawless. The video is called: The Lawless Airship
This video reminded me of our coverage of the RC-Airship regatta back in July and Daniel Geerys Hyperblimp. I think it would be cool to have something like a world league of rc-airship races, competing in different classes and styles of races. If you have an idea, or would like to get some people together for a race, post in the comments or send us an email, maybe we can work something out and help organizing such an event. If you want to you can add a page to the Airshipworld Wiki about RC airship races.
The Second Video is a video of the Met Life Blimp flying over Coney Island in 1996
If you want to know more, read our post about the Metlife Blimp with links to their website and detailed informations about the blimp program.

YouTube Airship stuff - part 2
We are continuing our You Tube Airship roundup with another 5 videos that we found. The first one is again a historical Video from the 1930s. A report about the Akron, and how she was damaged by a gale
The second video is a short amateur video of a flight in a hot-air blimp, showing start and landing, in flight inside and from the ground.
In our third video we are going the historic route again with a short clip from Curly's Airships a Project about the British R101 airship.
Number four takes us back to New York and the arrival of the Hindenburg, after the fastest Atlantic crossing ever made by a commercial passenger aircraft.
Last but not least we come back to current times and come full circle with this last Video of the Goodyear blimp landing. Why full circle, you might think, well because it was Paul Boldt who started this by posting on the Airshiplist and he won, a flight in the Goodyear blimp, and has captured his experience in a Photo gallery. Check them out here, you have to register to see it, but it's painless and only takes a few seconds.
That's it those are the videos we wanted to share with you tonight, are there videos you like to share? Send them to us or post them in the comments. Do you have your own videos on YouTube and we haven't found them yet, tell us write us an email. We love to see what you have, even if it's not videos if you have pictures of airships or a website that you would like us to mention, drop us a line and we can work something out. Oh and in case you have not read the previous post here is a link to it.

Also remember to subscribe to the feed if you haven't already, and come to the Airship Parade in Bad Homburg if you are in the area, if you send us an email ahead of time we might be able to meet.

YouTube Airship stuff - part 1
Paul Boldt who contributes to the Blog regular with his great Future Flight story just posted a few links to YouTube Videos on the Yahoo Airshiplist and I thought, that I share some of them with you, it's gonna be a multi part post since there quite a few Videos. Also if you have not yet checked out Paul's story, read the already published parts, and keep an eye out for part 4 coming soon:
=FUTURE>FLIGHT - an airship story - Part 1
=FUTURE>FLIGHT - an airship story - Part 2
=FUTURE>FLIGHT - an airship story - Part 3
Now on to the Videos, the first one is a Video of a test Flight of the USS Macon.
Video number two is a CG animated flyby of the USS Akron.
Video three shows the Zeppelin NT starting, notice the zero ground crew during the start and compare that to a start of the Goodyear blimp. This video really showcases the Zeppelins manoeuvrability.
The fourth Video is a collection of clips of the Zeppelin Hindenburg flying over Manhattan, let's all hope we will see this happen soon with a new cross Atlantic passenger Airship line.
The fifth and last video for this post is a clip of what I think is a Skyship 600 on it's mast.
So stay tuned for even more videos later tonight, and tomorrow, there is some interesting stuff coming up, a new remote controlled blimp, a unmanned airship built for the US Army and even a blimp from Columbia. Thanks again to Paul Boldt for starting this.

Some movies never get done aka (Zeppelin vs Pterodactyls)
So this has been floating around the last few weeks in the blogosphere and I just want to mention it shortly. In the 1970s a Movie Company called Hammer Film was planing on putting out a movie about a Zeppelin stranded in a Lost World, where it had to fight dinosaurs. The Movie should have been called Zeppelin vs Pterodactyls. I don't know where I first had read about it but Airminded was one of the first I remember. Unfortunately movies that do not get made are not much of a help I guess. So why not looking at some movies that are actually available. The AIRSHIP Website has a nice page listing quite a few Airship - Feature Films, of which i have probably watched a maximum of one or two, but if you are looking into which movies to rent or get for the next video night that list might be a good start.If you are more interested in upcoming films, to plan your trips to the movie theater, checkout "Stardust" or "The Golden Compass". Actually i have some video footage of His Dark Materials that I would like to share.
The first Video is a teaser Trailer I found on YouTube:
The second one is a very high quality Trailer that I am just going to link to since I don't want that people have to download huge amounts of data. It shows the Airship which can be seen in the movie a lot better than in the YouTube Video.
So go to this page to check the Theatrical Trailer
Again comes my question for discussion in the Comments, do you think the fictional airships pictured in those movies could actually fly? What would they need to fly, how much bigger would they have to be in the real world, what would have to be changed. Share your opinions with us in the comments.
