I don't know that I'd seriously want to fly such a thing, more than once anyway, but does anyone know of a hot air balloon add-on?

I suppose the 'piloting' would be fairly rudimentary, but you could always drift along admiring the scenery for an hour or so...

Many thanks to you both. I'll try the blimp AND the balloon. Always had a thing about airships, since the Goodyear blimp was flying out of Sunderland airport in the hot summer of 1976. Ah, memories!

I used to see it in Carson-Gardena (Southern California) on my way to lunch...when i went that way.
Many years ago.

I think they have 3 or 4 moored around the country, I don't remember and too lazy to look it up. 😀
