Which I would choose over an airplane every single time, given the choice.
There was another interesting related link involving alternate destinations in tourism. All this stuff totally fits into social change.

Looks like an Air Whale.
I intend to send my applications to the french crowd when this they get this project up off the ground.
Don't wait. The resumes they get soonest are going to probably get the most attention.
I wish the flying machines from final fantasy were real. I would build a flying casino in homage of my dead love.
And I would prowl the night sky in search of star-metal, you loon. :roll:

They were different ships.
The Enterprise, the flying casino, was Setzer Gambiani's personal ship prior to Daryl building the Falcon.
After her death, he restored the wreckage of the Falcon and put it into storage in Daryl's tomb.
If you want to post BS, as least research it.
On topic: I've read a few good articles on Airships beign used for cargo transport. Nothing I can pull up yet, but it promises to be more efficient than hauling on an 18 wheeler.
If they can manage speeds anything like the air hotel AND run on clean energy, then hell yes.
If they keep to current air transport safety standards, they'll be safer too. (You're MUCh less likely to have a container fall on you, than run you over on the highway). Considering people in the USA are most likely to die from roads, food or cigarettes, this is not a bad thing.
I just want the semi trucks off the damn highway. It's a shit job anyway.
I know they were different ships. I was just trying to act like an eedjit. Again.
nevermind.
what?
Go back to sleep. You are dreaming.
Again?
yes.
okay.
