With grace and elegance, the Zeppelin settled onto the ground




With grace and elegance, the Zeppelin settled onto the ground of the Oakland Airport like a fall leaf. The ground crew went to work with the precision of an Indy Car pit crew and moved the "stairway to heaven" into place so that the passengers could disembark (Sorry, I couldn't pass up a good Lead Zeppelin reference). Then before you could think of the correct pronunciation of "luftschiff hoch" the ship was back in the air with another load of passengers for a tour of skies above Oakland and the East Bay.
