Is the really a zepp or is it a blimp. Don't zepps have a ridged internal frame?

James this is a zeppelin. It has a rigid internal frame.

Beautiful sight to see in the sky! You will never have to rush out of the house or you'll miss seeing it ;-)

What is that screen or netting mid-ship?

we flew in the BUD blimp/airship a few years back...like over 10 and it was a different kind of flying.
nothing like a 45 degree ascent angle and fans screaming and your only moving slow like a turtle. AWESOME ride

Robin, that is the "message board" which now seems to be more of a display, comprised of thousands of LEDs. It used to be very simple scrolling messages several letters at a time and some crude graphics ability. I used to live in the South Bay (LA) and saw these all the time, I wonder what that display can do now!

Years ago used to take my now forty year old son down to the Carson Blimp-port. We would stop for doughnuts on the way, and he would sit on the grass, eat his doughnut, and was entirely enthralled. At some point he even had a ride-on Good-Year Blimp. He would pedal that thing all around the living room and den.

He still remembers going down to see the blimps. And the doughnuts.

A classic!
