Oberschleißheim - Zeppelin NT

Zeppelin NT D-LZZF approaching the landing field at the Flugwerft Schleißheim, an outpost of the Deutsches Museum dedicated to aeronautics and the history of Schleißheim airfield.

 

This is a semi-rigid airship, not a blimp. The Zeppelin NT family of airships belong to the largest active airships and are currently the only ones with a rigid inner structure (the original Zeppelin airships did also have a rigid outer structure).

 

Schleißheim airfield (EDNX) is the oldest still operating airfield in Germany. It was founded in 1912 for the Königlich-Bayerische Fliegertruppe (Royal Bavarian Flying Corps).
