They weighed us when we went for the flight in the 80's . When we flew the
approach pattern for landing was just like any other airplane
upwind,crosswind..... I still don't know how else the goodyear blimp ended
on its nose, unless from the distance I was looking , I mistook nose up with
nose down. Then again, with the fins on the tail, that would throw out the
perspective error. Pat

I'm jealous

Maybe they had a passenger my size, think big, who moved to the back of the
gondola.
