Or is it much too semirigid-like? Is it simply not interesting enough? Would the tiny ZMC-2 enter into your consideration as a footnote in US Navy Rigid Airship article?

NAS Richmond was the 2nd largest U.S. Navy Blimp base in the U.S. Destroyed by a hurricane and fires in1945. The heart of the site will be the restored original Administration Building #25 which will be moved alongside the Railroad Museum on the oridinal site of Hangar #2.

I live near Lakehurst, and you will be glad to know that there is still some limited LTA activity there. The small non-rigid MZ-3A has been flying from Lakehurst for a couple of years, not a Top Secret project, but nobody's talking much about it. In fact, I was earlier today belting down South Dover rd on a Triumph Thruxton, at highly illegal speeds, when she flew over, quite low. I pulled over to watch, as this sight has become a rarity. She's tiny, even to one too young to have seen the big Rigids, but I remember the "Nan" class ships of the late 50s, which dwarfed her. Still, she's an Airship, and I'll take what I can get.
