I hope the city takes measures to preserve the one remaining hangar and turns it into some sort of public destination. They should also remove all hazardous materials from the building. It is sad that the one hangar was lost in the big fire recently.
An airship has an eternal structure, generally of a very light metal, such as aluminum with compartments or bags for the gas that lifts the ship into the air. The engines are strictly for the purpose of propulsion forward and aft. A blimp is one balloon with a smaller one inside For use of rising and lowering the blimp while cruising.
UPDATE!!! Today, Tuesday 7 November 2023...... The structure caught fire and M A J O R portions of the structure has burnt down with 1/3 of the roof collapse and fire Still burning from within the hanger. The roof and frames from within, fell burning and have crashed on the hanger floor. I will try to send a link and Updates of this Tustin Hanger blimp structure...... It is a S A D day seeing an Iconic and Historic many of you who will comment about this video...please keep it respectful. I have NO information, at the time 1900 PST 7 Nov 23, about what cause. Firefighters TRIED to put out the fire, but structure was T O O Big/Tall and the use of helicopters were of no avail. There were No hydrants nearby except, from what " I " saw in local news, TOO Far away...they are trying, but also .... to no avail.
