I just saw this Zeppelin flying over Kontich (Antwerp). I made a quick shot and edit for this website.

Re: Tour de France 2010
Hi,
Someone an idea about where the 9 French Tour-accompanying helicopters headed / landed /nightstop (as they're NOT at Grimbergen)??
Thanks for an answer!

I do not want to spoil your day, but that is not a zeppelin. It is a blimp, or non-rigid airship, an airship without an internal supporting framework or keel. To say it in short: a zeppelin has a skeleton, this one not.fretn wrote: I saw a zeppelin for the first time in my life

Why does it say "zeppelin" on its tail then?I do not want to spoil your day, but that is not a zeppelin. It is a blimp, or non-rigid airship, an airship without an internal supporting framework or keel. To say it in short: a zeppelin has a skeleton, this one not.
Isn't this the real zeppelin with the goodyear titles on it that came to Grimbergen last month?

And the Blimp/Zeppelin/Big Balloon (whatever you call it ) with Goodyear titles was above the "Ring" of Brussels 20 minutes ago (near the Exit to Wemmel), standing gently in the air. For once I wished there were the usual traffic jams to have a longer look at it, but it's holiday time...

Re: Tour de France 2010
Because they call it a Zeppelin NT ("Neue Technologie", German for new technology) manufactured since the 1990s by the German company Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH . I know, all a bit confusing.EBAW_flyer wrote: Why does it say "zeppelin" on its tail then?
