The Goodyear Blimp Monterey-WWII-Viet Nam and Death on Big Sur **part 2** not ready to read yet

in unfinished •  7 years ago 

Well it's not the tomorrow I was looking for when I wrote part 1 but since any day after any yesterday is a tomorrow I suppose it will do fine.

NALF (Naval Auxiliary Landing Field) Monterey was other than Moffett field that still handled blimp landings. They were facilitated with the help of a ground crew that caught the lines dropped from the gondola and holding the lighter than air craft steady until it could be attached to the mast, which was basically a very tall flagpole.
