Thank you to Robert Bowman for contributing this image. There must have been a celebrity onboard or something going on because the gondola only held six passengers plus the pilot and there's way too many people there.

other sizes: small medium original auto

Hey Don, this actually might be the N1A's first arrival in Miami, hence the crowd. She was built in 1969 and the way the car is painted looks like its from that year. They completeley changed the color schemes for the car and the 4 rear fins I believe in 1970. By the way, Don't know if you remember, but I had emailed you about pictures i had of the old blimp base, I haven't forgotten, it's just that I haven't had time!
