The Flight of the Saltire

If it can make its way to Germany I'm sure it could find a mooring on the Grafenwoehr Water Tower, a landmark to all who have trained here!

Might even find its way down to Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance (Bodensee in German) where the Zeppelins were first built, I believe.

Tom, you are 100% correct; Lake Constance was were the good Count first flew his machines.

Great idea. We will need to have a kilt night in Dumfries when the Saltire lands at Ferintosh so that we can sign the log.

The hotel opposite Ferintosh has a suitable mooring tower!

I'm quite sure we could find a hanger for airship Saltire here in Southern Az.

A certain Count von Zeppelin is/was an umpteenth-or-so cousin of mine - I'll draw upon the well of ancestral memory to provide her safe haven for a night.

When the Satire and I are both on American soil I'd love to fly it around Idaho.
Great idea, Panache.

I'll help out if it comes near Chicago! I won't travel much beyond the Midwest, but hey...

A great idea, Jamie! Count me in!

I'd be more than happy to host it here in Colorado. We could even fly it up to the Longs Peak Games in Estes Park on Sept 5 & 6. We should be able to get pics of all the members that make it to the games.
