20 year anniversary of Steve Fossett's Zeppelin airship speed record
On 27 October 2004, the American adventurer Steve Fossett set a new speed record in a Zeppelin NT airship. His speed of 115 km/h still stands today, 20 years on, as an absolute record.
Fossett managed to beat the existing record of 92.8km/h which had been set by James Dexter and Michael Kendrick in 2000.
