"The Mother of all Airships". Hindenburg peeking out of Hangar One, Lakehurst. This is one of a series of four that I have and will post others soon.

Thanks 46er. It says, "Front view of the Zeppelin hall in Lakehurst, America". The best I can make out of the line in parentheses is, "Everything has been waiting".

Front and back of photo: people waiting at Hangar One, Lakehurst NAS. If anybody knows German, perhaps you can translate the back of the photo.

She has a great eye. Encourage her to stay with it.

This happened to me a few years ago in Allentown, NJ. When I was driving about 20 mph through town, a woman bolted out from behind a parked vehicle. I hit the brakes and stopped without incident but as she was in the crosswalk in the middle of the street, she wigged out at me. To this day, I...

Here's another nice shot of the Los Angeles and Hangar One at Lakehurst. The original that I have is about 4"x8".

I'm not sure if this is significant to your research or for that matter whether or not I have the facts correct. It has nothing to do with the proposed jetport in the 1960's. At the turn of this century (late 1990's to early 2000's) there were plans on the table to turn McGuire AFB into a joint...

I was searching for some historical information on the web tonight and came across this book: Salters History of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, NJ. Here is the link to the book: https://archive.org/stream/historyofmonmout00insalt#page/n0/mode/2up

Here's a link to an article about the action of the Pinelands Commission regarding two pipeline projects. http://www.njspotlight.com/stories/16/12/11/two-pipeline-proposals-kicked-back-to-pinelands-commission/

The Los Angeles moored inside Hangar 1.

This seems like the best place to post this and some other related historic photos. I hope you enjoy them.

An open question to the site administrators: Is Photographers phorum the best place to post more vintage Lakehurst N.A.S. photos or should they be posted elsewhere?

I was sorting through some of my collection and came upon this photo of the U.S.S. Los Angeles (ZR-3) moored at Lakehurst N.A.S. The airship was built in Germany after WW1 as war reparation and delivered to the U.S. Navy. I thought the title, "Among the Pines" made sharing it appropriate on this...

I looked for a long time to buy strike anywhere matches only to conclude that they were no longer made. Last week, I went to a local outdoors store and bought a three pack of stick matches. Upon lighting the fireplace the other night, I noticed that the Diamond brand matches looked peculiar and...

I didn't look through all 41 pages of this thread to see if I'm duplicating a post. If I am, I apologize. If this is new information on the thread, Beer drinkers will love the link to an awesome website. The optional membership on the site seems well worth it and has already been requested for...

The launch of the Antares has been delayed almost 24 hours due to an equipment malfunction. The launch is now scheduled for Monday, Oct. 17 at 7:40 pm EDT.

I have an answer and a website that explains the reason for the signs. Rather than me explaining it, it will be a whole lot easier to go to this website where you read all about it. http://www.nj.gov/transportation/community/scenic/byways.shtm

I think they were put up by the state to promote tourism. There are similar signs throughout my town with graphics in the same lame style stating: Upper Freehold Historic Farmland Byway. I have also seen them along the Delaware River north of Trenton and up Route 29 promoting the scenic river...

Fantastic. A must watch film.
