Has anyone else heard about 'The Spirit of Dubai' aka the worlds largest commercial airship?

It has just started it's promotional tour of Europe, beginning in London, and flying via Paris, Rome, Cairo to Dubai.

You can read more at the official site here: http://www.spiritofdubai.ae/

By the way, anyone know of a fs2004 version?

During a week of operations it will consume less fuel than a 767 uses to simply move away from its gate to a runway!

Thanks for the news, what really struck me was the above statement. :ph43r:
