In about 1998 the representative from a computer ISP invited me along for a ride in the Windstar Blimp! Of course I accepted. During the flight the captain asked if anyone wanted to take the controls. Of course I was right there! I had taken the controls of my brother David’s airplane, David soon after said that I had gone up 100 feet – I did not know it. The controls of the blimp were a lot different. I pointed the nose down and waited for a minute before it responded, it was that slow!!
What a fun ride!
