The more things change....

The last story remined me of something. If you drive through Moutain View on the 101 you will pass Moffit Field a formor Naval Air Station. From The freeway you can see the massive Hanger One, former home of the USS Macon, a 785 ft. long ridgid airship capable of launching and recovering its own fighter aircraft. The tragic history of the Macon is here http://moffetthistoric.arc.nasa.gov/history/history5.html. If we ever do build the Walrus it would be unwise to defer maintenance.
