On this day in 1934 my beloved USS Macon Flew to Mare Island Navy Yard for Keel Laying Ceremony for Destroyer USS Preston

That long walk was from one end of me to the other, right?

On this day in 1935 Moffett Field was transferred to the War Department, and given to the Army.

But still a few years before I existed.

My construction began on this day in 1931. Happy groundbreaking to me!

Led Zeppelin III was released on this day in 1970. I remain confused.

England's R101 Zeppelin crashed in France on its way to India on this day in 1930.

The Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation was founded on this day in 1923.

Age verification? I remember the first time that airships were the future.

I prefer to be a skymark.

He means everything to me.

On this day in 1921 the @USNavy Bureau of Aeronautics was established by general order. Rear Adm. William Moffett was the first chief.

Oopsie. It's been a long time since I've seen him, and you humans all look alike anyway.

Houston, we have a hero. Gemini and Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell has left the building.

Happy birthday, Neil Armstrong, the first human to walk on the real moon, not in some giant soundstage somewhere in California.

My plans were signed off on this day in 1931.

Plus, it is salt water, which will corrode you more quickly.

#WavePSA there is a tsunami advisory. avoid the coast. This kind of energy is unpredictable and I’m going to be too busy managing it to watch out for you. Stay safe, stay alert.

While I am not against it - nice job! - I think that it would look even better if it was decorated with airships.

The Apollo 11 astronauts landed on the real moon on this day in 1969. The landing was not faked inside a giant soundstage somewhere in California. My friends at NASA Ames helped. With the real landing on the real moon.

On this day in 1947, a small Navy blimp crashed off of Point Mendocino during a training cruise. 11 Men had to be rescued from a rubber lifeboat.

My beloved USS Macon made her first training flight from NAS Moffett Field under the command of Cmdr. Herbert V. Wiley on this day in 1934. I was so excited and nervous for her. And proud!

NAS Moffett Field was disestablished on this day in 1994. "Secure the watch" - Capt. Kelly Gray, last CO

I was officially completed on this day in 1933. Happy ribbon-cutting day to me!

Happy Tau day to my friends who celebrate. While it could be argued that my orange peel doors are more of a celebration of pi, together they make a complete circle.

Same, Sutro Tower, same.

Oh, maybe I should try that the next time that an airship goes to Hangar 2. Claim that it should have been delivered to me.

In this day in 1785 Pilâtre de Rozier - the first human to fly in a balloon becomes the first person to die in a balloon accident. His balloon, filled with a combination of hydrogen & hot air, exploded during an attempt to fly across the English Channel, according to the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Nothing surprising here. I always stay with my airships as long as they are in me.

Yes. So much yes.

This is lovely, although it needs more hangar photos. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/b...

The noisy NACA (later called NASA) wind tunnel was dedicated on this sad day in 1944.

On Memorial Day we honor our fallen folks who fought for all we hold dear.

The same, but steel.

My renew twin!

All humans look the same to me.

There's an airship floating around and THIS is your photo!?

Quote this post with a picture of the airplane [sic] you'll accept as a bribe.

On this day in 1932 my beloved's sister ship, the USS Akron, flew here from Lakehurst to deliver mail. I was not yet ready to receive her.

It is H2's mission, not mine. Yes, I am jealous.

Not a fun guy.

On this day in 1937, the beautiful Zeppelin Hindenburg burned in Lakewood, NJ. 35 of the 97 humans aboard perished. This is the one day a year that you are allowed to say that thing, but we wish that you would not.

Even before that happens, rust is itchy.

On this day in 1933, my beloved USS Macon took her first flight. She would soon be journeying to me.

On this day in 1942 Moffett Field was recommissioned as a Navy airfield (from temporarily being an Army training base) under Commander Mackey.
