Slartibartfast i mean i could have been staged but just because May did not have any sort of control or clearances doesnt mean that the helicopter that filmed everything didnt have it, the heli was flying quite a bit higher and had to zoom in quite much so that tells us that it flew on the border to the controlled airspace

The US government had been looking into a hybrid airship in like 2015. They had planned to go ahead and purchase several but I'm not sure what happened because I heard about them for 2 or 3 years and then nothing. I think the future vertical lift program may have canceled the purchase. The airship was really cool and was supposed to be fuel efficient. Instead, it looks like they will purchase either a smaller, newer tiltrotor or a dual, coaxial rotor with push prop helicopter. While expensive they're far more practical
