I have a feeling, that we should start a new thread were we collect all the available airships for FS2004 / FS9. That would be awesome.
I certainly would retain some of them for my Sim… i.e. the most modern ones…

Simv has a whole bunch of them, search for blimps, airships, balloons & zeppelins.
There are a couple of CFS2 blimps there, that I'll be modding the cfg's to see if they will work.

Not forgetting the Must Have LZ-127 Graf Zeppelin by Lynn & Bill Lyons, right here, down the page at https://www.sim-outhouse.org/toh/

I’ve seen them indeed… but extra didn’t mention them on here since i only wanted to list the FS2004 Blimps and Zeppelins… I guess there’s allready another thread for Blimps and Zeppelins of CFS2 and 3 in the relevant CFS Theme in here…

A retro styled hot air balloon ( due to lack of having at least just one normal retro balloon)

not certain about that...
---> while the Hot Air Balloon simulation kit is available to download from the wayback machine, courtesy of web archive, the Goodyear blimp defender download has unfortunately not been archived; fortunately though still available to download from FS2000 https://www.fs2000.org/2002/01/28/fs2002-classic-goodyear-blimp-the-defender/ by Bill Lyons and the Golden Eagles Squadron

and there are also the efforts of Bruce Fitzgerald

I ment the classic gas balloons as unavailable. The hot air ones became really popular later on. The ligtherthanair site includes a useful vintage airship mast. Thanks for the tip.

It is somehow weird to see Paris without the City... and the Eifel Tower standing alone as if he's somewhere in the Desert...
here's another shot of that one... this time with the City of Paris... :p:D

Some very few and obviously oldish people are still flying in Golden Wings era, and it would be extremely weired to have La Defense as background! So what?

An interesting comparison to see how much the City has emerged from way back when, though… :p

It works as well as the early airship mast, available on the same site.

For unknown and curious reasons thr mast is place at the later Akron-Canton Regl Airport. That's in the vincinity of Akron und Wingfoot, Bill Lyons hotspots of airships.
