As I was going to Burning Man...

Right,

So, if I ever went to Burning Man, I'd always thought it'd be cool to have something like this:



Only now imagine that it's a wee bit bigger and there's a zeppelin docked at the top.

I have no idea how you would even get a license to fly a zeppelin. That's not a pilot's license, that's like a rider that goes on top of a license (like being able to fly double engines or jets). I'm pretty sure that in the US, the only thing close is a blimp pilot license and basically you have to work for Goodyear to get one.

As for "buying" a zep, well, that's pretty much right out. There's a company in Germany looking to build a heavy cargo lifter model, but it's way more zep than I need.

Alas:

"By the insolvency of the enterprise in May 2002 resounds their original regulation has lost. Instead therein in December 2004 the first and only Tropenparadies Europe was opened: the Tropical Iceland Resort." (Translation from the German, found at http://www.cargolifter.de/, provided by Google.)

(We can still dream, though.)
