This is a photo I took several years ago, I happened to be passing the 'blimp port' as the magnificent flying machine was approaching so I stopped to watch. My choice of location resulted in the sun glare but the idea is there.
On another topic: I'm deep into the biography of Amelia Earhart. The more I read the more fascinated I am. She was a strong , independent woman but apparently didn't understand the use of the rudder when taking off in her planes but large and small. She knew what she wanted and had the guts to try. I'm at the point in the book where she is lost looking for Howland Island and can't communicate with the 'ships at sea'. She apparently expressed no interest in the details of operating the radio so I wonder if she had the radio tuned wrong. Noonan would have known but he was in the rear of the Electra and wouldn't have noticed.
Communicate with 'ships at sea' is proof that we're all on this flight together.
