My entire life’s goal is to become an entirely unserious Saturday Morning Cartoon Super-Villain
Wear a ridiculous steampunk outfit with an evil mustache
Have my own personal mini-dirigible
Ride around the neighborhood yelling unintelligible vaguely evil nonsense at people
“Accidentally” drop incredibly cool “prototype” water cannons near where a few vaguely heroic looking children are standing
Summon The Drones to spray the “FOOOOLS!” with water guns as flight of the Valkyries plays from my dirigibles speakers
Go home in utter defeat and shambles after the neighborhood Children defeat me in the water war
Come back in a week, with drones painted a different color because they’re now “UPGRADED TO MARK 7!” to reclaim my incredibly powerful lost prototypes
Lose again
Repeat

This Photo of a Dirigible Over Elmira is Fake!
by Erin Doane, Curator
“The Pageant of Decision” was a massive theatrical production that celebrated the Sesquicentennial of the Sullivan-Clinton Campaign. On September 28, 1929, 2,000 local participants in Elmira performed the 17-act pageant on a half-mile wide outdoor stage on the slope of East Hill in front of nearly 75,000 spectators. The above photo from CCHS’s archive shows the Navy dirigible Los Angeles hovering over the pageant crowd. It is a wonderful, striking image. Too bad it’s fake. (READ MORE)

“Santos-Dumont No. 9, La Baladeuse, Piloted by Aida de Acosta, 1903” and “Santos-Dumont 14-Bis, Le Oiseau de Proie, 1906,” made in Deluxe Paint IV, 2024-2025 for AOTM’s Artist Residency.
// Earlier this year I made some works based off the aircrafts of Alberto Santos-Dumont, a Brazilian inventor and Parisian celebrity bon vivant who is considered by many to be the father of aviation.
The Number 9 (La Baladeuse) was the smallest of Santos-Dumont’s airships. It was easy to maneuver and he would famously fly it around the streets of Paris. In June 1903, Aida de Acosta, a 19-year-old American socialite, became the first woman to pilot an aircraft taking the Number 9 to a Polo match while Santos-Dumont followed her on his bicycle.
The 14-Bis was one of the first successful airplanes, making the first publicly recorded self-propelled airplane flight in history, managing to take off and land on its own in front an excited Parisian public at the Bagatelle Gamefield in 1906. //

If the opportunity ever somehow becomes available, I really want to take a trip in a zeppelin sometime in my life.
That just seems like it would be the best thing ever.

Paranormal Casefile
The R-101 Case (1930)
Incident involving the famous Irish medium Eileen J. Garrett (pictured below), in which spirits of the dead allegedly solved the mystery of a tragic airship disaster, the crash of the British dirigible R-101 on her maiden voyage in 1930. All 46 persons on board were killed. The spirits of the dead crew communicated evidential information through Garrett, thus providing support for survival after death. The case had interesting legal implications.
Garrett had several premonitions of the impending disaster years before it happened. In 1926, Garrett was walking her dog in Hyde Park in London one day when she had a vision of a phantom dirigible in the sky. It appeared normal. In 1928, while walking near Holland Park in London, she saw the airship again, only this time it was partially covered by clouds; it wobbled, gave off smoke, was buffeted about and disappeared. She believed it to be a real disaster and was surprised to find no news of it in the press. Meanwhile, the construction of two dirigibles in England, the R-100 and the R-101, was made public. One was to fly to India on its maiden voyage; Garrett was certain it would be the R-101, and that it would crash. Garrett sent a warning to Sir Sefton Brancker, director of civil aviation; Brancker laughed at her. Also in 1928, during a séance, Garrett gave a message from a deceased Captain Raymond Hinchcliffe warning his friend, Ernest Johnston, the navigator of the R-101, not to go on the maiden voyage because the ship would crash. Johnston did not take the message seriously. In 1929, Garrett saw a third vision of a dirigible in the sky over London, in flames.
The R-101 was declared by Brancker to be “safe as a house, except for the millionth chance.” It lifted off on October 4, 1930 and crashed in France on October 5. Garrett knew about it before the news reached the media. Brancker was among the victims.
Three days after the crash, Garrett conducted a séance intended to communicate with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who had died on July 7. Garrett’s control, Uvani, began to relay messages from the dead captain of R-101, Flight Lieutenant H. Carmichael Irwin. The specific and technical information about the airship, its testing and flight was of such a confidential nature that Harry Price, one of the sitters, worried about espionage. He sent a copy of the transcript to Sir John Simon, chairman of the Court of Inquiry, who was heading an investigation of the disaster. When the seance story appeared in the press, other military officials became interested, including Major Oliver Villiers, a close friend of Brancker.
Irwin allegedly communicated again, joined by several others who had died in the crash, including Brancker, Major G.H. Scott, Wing Commander R.B. Colmore and Ernest Johnston, the navigator. The spirits claimed that the R-101 had had a gas leak that had been ignored by officials who wanted to launch on time. The ship had been too heavy for the engines, which backfired and ignited the escaping gas. Furthermore, the ship had been plagued by other problems: a bad air pump that failed and an improperly functioning fuel pump. The ship had never reached cruising altitude and had scraped treetops as it passed over France. The problems had been known prior to launch, but the decision had been made to proceed. The crew had not wanted to appear “faint of heart,” and had figured that if they made it across the English Channel, they could come down in France and claim that bad weather had forced them to land.
Villiers was convinced he had spoken with the spirits of the dead crew, and he gave information from Garrett’s seven seances to Simon. Simon said he could do nothing with it, however, as testimony from the dead would never be accepted in a court of law.
Twenty-five years later, Villiers gave another copy of the seance records to author James Leasor, who wrote The Millionth Chance: The Story of the R-101. Villiers believed the dead crew wanted the world to know the truth of what happened.
The information was not considered in the official inquiry of the crash because of the alleged sources, spirits of the dead.
