Securing a hanger for the Zeppelin was a challenge. For a fully functional Zeppelin operation, airship hangers were needed. Fortunately, three of the remaining 13 airship hangers in the U.S. are located at a single airfield, in the Bay Area, at Moffett Field in Mountain View, California. Decommissioned as a Naval airfield in 1994, Moffett Field is operated by NASA’s Ames Research Center. Utilizing contacts at NASA from her previous position at Chabot Space and Science Center, a meeting was arranged with the Center Director, who agreed that it was an obvious partnership, a wonderful historic reuse and exactly the kind of project he'd like to see at Ames. It then took almost a year to build local community support and navigate red tape to make the initial agreement happen.
