The first non-military airship, Pilgrim, debuted in 1925 as the first helium-filled, non-rigid airship, marking the start of the Goodyear Blimp program.
the portable mooring mast built on a bus wasn't a short lived operation, it was maintained over decades, above, 1969, and below in back and white, debuting the messaging lighting system, was 1949. Both busses are labeled "Airship operations"
In 1946 and 47, Goodyear ordered 3 Clipper busses from Flxible.
as long as I'm posting about Goodyear, it turns out, they also own 10 other brands of tires, including Cooper, Dunlop, Mickey Thompson, and Avon, of the ones I've heard of
On the inside, Magpul has stocked the cabinet with 1950’s era weaponry. The top row of the cabinet has a line of 1911 handguns, and below that are a slew of Thompson submachine guns
Even has a Flxible outside, and these 5 trailers! Why? I like this bit of clever thinking... because it takes the idea of the music experience to the bus and trailers that rock stars have traveled and stayed in
Th trailers and bus area is called Backstage. Found around the back of the main building, the site hosts ten classic travel trailers updated with a slew of modern amenities.
The interior spaces of the RVs retain the hotel’s musical theme, evoking the feel of a personal trailer belonging to a famous rock star. Photos of bands and album covers adorn the walls, and a vinyl record player cranks out the tunes.
I will bet, though, that you remember Max Headroom, in the mid 80s, he was everywhere, he was the spokesman for New Coke on tv commercials and was even in the “Paranoimia” music video by Art of Noise.
the Max Headroom character was not digital... it was actor Matt Frewer wearing prosthetic makeup, contact lenses, and a plastic molded suit, and sitting in front of a blue screen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom
(enjoy the 80s flashback song, it's been forever since i heard it, it didn't get a lot of radio time since Max Headroom and MTV faded from pop culture icon status)
Frewer, one of my favorite goofy character actors is easily recognizeable, and seen in Altered Carbon, The Magicians, Supernatural, and in a very fun role, in Eureka. Yes, I watch a lot of tv, especially as I'm surfing the web for stuff to blog
