Looks like the Michelin Man's vehicle of choice.

Paint that thing a dark reddish brown and it would look just like a bloated tick...makes my tummy churn just looking at it.

That is so funny!

I also liked the "three-cheeked-rubber butt" from space! :bump:

It looks like it has to think really hard about getting airborne, too!

Nice 18 point landing too ...

Did you see him bounce that thing from side to side when landing? And it was still bouncing going down the strip after touchdown ... LOL!!

Now you can get sea sick in an aircraft!

i've been saying for years Airships'll be back, purely as they're cost effective and can lift immense loads... Britains Skycat Prototype was my fascination for a while, made it as far as a small prototype then seemed to die off.... but looking at that footage it's evolved.....
