A true flight of fancy...


"Mirror of the World"
Sponsor: Zeppelin Lounge
Artist: Zygmunt Blazejewski

One of our favorite decorated Zeppelins, this one is in the passenger tent/lounge. It reminds me a bit of an art car -- painted metallic gold and covered with mirrors and toy store dragons. A true flight of fancy!

New airship envelope material?

On the main waterfront street in Friedrichshafen you can find the Zeppelin Store. It stocks a more comprehensive range of goodies than the store at the Zeppelin Museum (which I understand is outsourced) and it includes some of the branded items from DZR (although I would suggest you buy those online or at their passenger facilities).

One of the rather unusual items that it stocks are Zeppelins of various sizes made in Africa out of scrap metal, usually from cans. Not sure it would get through an FAA certification....but its certainly colorful!
