Demolition of Hangar 3 at Moffett Federal Airfield, formerly NAS Moffett Field, has begun.
Hangar 3 was one of 17 similar hangars built during World War II to house U.S. Navy non-rigid airships, a.k.a. "blimps." Built mostly of wood, a "non-strategic" material compared to steel, these hangars continued to serve both lighter-than-air craft and conventional aircraft for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps in the decades after World War II.
Failure of internal structure near the top of Hangar 3 in the 2010s doomed the structure, and it has been unoccupied for nearly ten years.
Planned demolitions and fires have claimed many of these hangars, and with the demolition of Hangar 3, only five of the original 17 hangars will remain in existence.

Failure of internal structure near the top of Hangar 3 in the 2010s doomed the structure, and it has been unoccupied for nearly ten years. In this photo, you can see a sag at the top of the hangar, near the middle of its length, which was caused by the structural failure within.
Planned demolitions and fires have claimed many of these hangars, and with the demolition of Hangar 3, only five of the original 17 hangars will remain in existence.

Ferdinand Adolf August Heinrich Graf von Zeppelin, más conocido como Ferdinand von Zeppelin (Constanza, 8 de julio de 1838-Berlín, 8 de marzo de 1917), fue un noble e inventor alemán, fundador de la compañía de dirigibles Zeppelin.
Educado en la academia militar de Ludwigsburg y en la Universidad de Tubinga. En 1863 fue destinado como observador militar en el ejército de la Unión en la guerra civil de Estados Unidos, donde fue testigo del uso de los globos cautivos para la observación del movimiento de las tropas.
Interesado por este medio de vuelo, a su regreso consagró su dinero y esfuerzos a la construcción de uno que se pudiera dirigir y sirviera para transportar personas. Tras varios intentos, en 1910, logro el primer vuelo con éxito logrando también el apoyo el apoyo oficial necesario para montar una fábrica para la construcción de dirigibles. Tras su muerte en 1917, sus dirigibles experimentaron un segundo florecimiento en las décadas de 1920 y 1930.
En la actualidad, su apellido sigue siendo un sinónimo para designar este tipo de aeronaves.
Ferdinand Adolf August Heinrich Count von Zeppelin, better known as Ferdinand von Zeppelin (Constance, July 8, 1838 - Berlin, March 8, 1917), was a German nobleman and inventor, founder of the Zeppelin airship company.
He was educated at the Ludwigsburg Military Academy and the University of Tübingen. In 1863 he was assigned as a military observer to the Union Army in the American Civil War, where he witnessed the use of tethered balloons to observe troop movements.
Interested in this means of flight, he returned home and devoted his money and efforts to building a balloon that could be steered and used to transport people. After several attempts, he achieved the first successful flight in 1910 and also received the necessary official support to set up a factory for the construction of airships. After his death in 1917, his airships experienced a second revival in the 1920s and 1930s.
His name is still synonymous with this type of airship.

This punning example of "Love at Its Height" is an early twentieth-century postcard with an illustration of a newfangled airship taxi that's traveling high over a city. A well-dressed couple is smooching in the back seat as the driver peeks at them from the corner of his eye.
See another postcard version of Love at Its Height that features a ladder instead of an airship.
Another copy of this card offered for sale online was postmarked in 1912.
