I'll lend my engineering ability as well. Maybe we could add a small propeller on the back to make it act like a VTOL ultralight!

What could possibly go wrong with a plan this great?

Ferrero1911 and I work in TV production...we can handle the media campaign!

Also I should be able to scrounge at least a few bucks out from under the seats in my Miatas.

Mechanical engineer here. I also have a CNC certificate, so I can design and build and whatever.

Whoops, my bad. This comment didn't go where it should have gone.

I want to study to be an engineer... but for now I can be the lowly unpaid intern that brings you guys coffee.

Electrical engineer here. I can contribute some sweet lights, fix electrics or something. Flying cars need lights, right? I'll also throw $5 at it.

I'm in the same boat, or airship in this case, as Bandit. Need a good ol' cup of Joe? I'm on it!

Although I will demand pay (Trident Layers is an acceptable form of payment).

Bandit's got the coffee covered, so how about you take care of the crash testing?

Pay is no problem. I believe we can offer you as much as $5... as long as you can first contribute the required $5 buy-in...

Nah, lights are for pussies. How about you figure out a way to wire up a panini maker in there? I figure I am going to want a sammich while I am drifting hopelessly off course for hundreds of miles...

I know people at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. I can spread the word.

It will have to be a lightweight, flexible gondola or it will never get FAA approval.

Link: http://www.balloonfiesta.com/event-info/eve…

Starts Oct. 5th.

You can watch it live online at KOB.com, KOAT.com

About 700 balloons each year.

Perfect, your job can be to CGI a safe, peaceful, flame-free landing over all of the inevitable footage that will surface of our airship crash landing into a ball of fiery death!

Propellers are way to predictable. Maybe find a way to affix a few bulls, and we can try to get them to fart in the right direction. I understand they can be quite the effective propellant...

It will also help our "green" credentials - grass powered flight! All natural!

I'm on it. Do we need a drinks cooler as well?

As a security services professional, I would like to offer my services as hired muscle a la Jayne Cobb.

Also, if we up the ante a bit and float a VW Type 2, Torch can have a decent sized crew aboard his airship. I would also accept a squadron of flying Beetles.
