Airship pilot Michael Nerandzic a hero
BY ANGELA THOMPSON
15 Jun, 2011 04:00 AM

The remains of Balgownie man Michael Nerandzic
have been recovered from wreckage of an incinerated blimp
in Germany as investigations into the accident continue
.

Flying over the main stadium at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

AIRSHIPS!...told ya to WATCH for 'em... 1283385

Mike Nerandzic with his wife, Lyndy.

The veteran pilot is being hailed a hero for
ordering his three passengers to safety before flames consumed the
airship's gondola on Sunday.
The drop in weight as the passengers
disembarked is believed to have caused the burning craft to shoot into
the sky still carrying Mr Nerandzic, who would have turned 53 today.
The phone rang hot with condolences yesterday at the home he shared with wife Lyndy.
Upstairs, his study hinted at the colourful working life that took him to the best seat in the house for five Olympic Games.
In 1988, in Seoul, his passengers were the Korean CIA and police carrying out surveillance work.
He
clocked up more than 12,300 hours in the air and worked in 24
countries, souveniring rows of promotional caps and access passes for
the study walls.
A large framed broadsheet shows a blimp he
piloted over Sydney Harbour on Australia Day in 1988, a spectacular
spread of ships laid out below.
Opposite, a collection of photos
captures billionaire Richard Branson strapped in waterskis, preparing to
be towed by an airship with Mr Nerandzic at the throttle.
"He was a character. He was larger than life. He was so, so generous," Mrs Nerandzic said.
"When they told me what he had done for the passengers it didn't surprise me one little bit.
"I
was just so glad they have retrieved his body. The company's going to
arrange for his body to be flown back to Australia and after that I
haven't thought any further.
"I just spoke to him the night before and we arranged that I would go over there in July."
The Nerandzics spent the first 10 years of their marriage living out of hotel rooms overseas before settling in the Illawarra.
"He would be in the airship and I'd be in the car with all of our worldly goods in the trailer," Mrs Nerandzic said.
"When he used to fly fixed-wing I worried, but he always used to say, 'what's going to happen with an airship'?"
Mr
Nerandzic was returning three passengers to Reichelsheim Airfield, in
Oberursel, on Sunday evening when he got into difficulty.
He was
flying the Spirit of Safety I, one of two airships leased by Goodyear
from Lightship Europe for marketing flights throughout Europe between
March until October.
On board were two news crew from RTL television and Joachim Storch, a photographer from Germany's Bild newspaper.
Mr Storch reported smelling petrol and seeing flames coming from the back of the Gondola, where the engines are positioned.
The airship came about 2m above the ground and the passengers jumped off at Mr Nerandzic's encouragement.
The
Mercury understands eight members of the ground crew were waiting with
ballast bags to weigh the craft to the ground, but they were too far
away.
Mr Storch reported looking on from the runway as the blimp went up again.
"I heard the screams of the pilot - it was terrible," he said.
The airship reached a height of about 50m before it came down in a black column of smoke witnessed 20km away.
According
to the Goodyear website, the Spirit of Safety airships were specially
built by American Blimp Corporation to a length of 39m - about 20m
shorter than models operating in the United States and with engines less
than half as powerful.
Unlike the German zeppelins of 50 years
ago, the Goodyear blimps are filled with non-flammable helium. A
statement issued by The Lightship Group said the identical craft had
been grounded "until further notice".
"First and foremost, our
thoughts are with the family and friends of the crew members, and also
with our colleagues and the passengers involved with the airship tour in
Germany," the statement continued.
Mr Nerandzic was The Lightship Group's director of operations in Europe, Asia and Australia until April 2009.
In an interview with The Australian newspaper in 2001 he spoke about his passion for airships and the "lifestyle I love".
"I couldn't see myself doing anything else. I've just loved every day," he said.

Argus One, new unmanned airship.

Argus One
Newly Designed and Constructed UAV Ready to Fly

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL–(Marketwire – March 28, 2011) – Sanswire
Corp, a developer of lighter-than-air unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
and related technologies, announced today that it has unveiled the
Company’s new UAV – “Argus One.”
The introduction of Argus One follows
the Company’s recent filing of a provisional patent application in the
United States for the new airship design and illustrates the uniqueness
of the Company’s UAV design. Argus One, named after the Greek god Argus,
the all-seeing god with one hundred eyes, was designed to meet certain
requirements for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR)

applications for the US military and other governmental agencies.
Argus
One provides governmental and commercial solutions to a UAV market
expected to exceed $62 billion by 2015.

Argus One is a lighter-than-air (LTA) UAV designed to fly over areas
of interest for extended durations carrying various payloads designed to
allow for ISR, communications and other applications. Argus One has low
acquisition, maintenance and operational costs compared to
heavier-than-air UAVs currently in operation. The design and
construction of Argus One follows years of research and development by
the Company of alternative LTA technologies and solutions and combines
innovative approaches to LTA technology proprietary to Sanswire. Argus
One is Sanswire’s initial LTA UAV equipped with the Company’s newly
developed, proprietary stabilization system that autonomously controls
the level of rigidity of the airship in flight. This airship design
significantly differs from many of the LTA platforms that have been in
operation for over a century.

Argus One was specifically developed by Sanswire using US developed
technologies that take full advantage of the microelectronics and
command and control technologies protected under the International
Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) for potential US Government and
approved commercial customers. The Company is also refocusing its
efforts on establishing relationships with research and development and
flight facilities in the US for development of the Argus line of
airships.

As part of this refocused business strategy, the Company has entered
into a Settlement Agreement with TAO Technologies that, among other
things, terminates all existing agreements between the parties and
provides for the dissolution of the Sanswire-TAO joint venture. As part
of the Settlement Agreement, TAO is entitled to retain all consideration
previously paid to it and the debt owed by the Company under the prior
agreements of approximately $2.5 million has been discharged. The
Company is currently in discussions with TAO to develop a mutually
beneficial relationship for future efforts. The Company plans to
continue to review all outstanding debts on its balance sheet as part of
an ongoing initiative to reduce the Company’s liabilities and
strengthen its balance sheet.

Sanswire Chairman Michael K. Clark stated, “The unveiling of Argus
One represents a key milestone for the Company and brings us another
step closer to commercial production of our airships.”

Sanswire CEO Glenn Estrella added, “Argus One is the airship we
believe can address and help with many of the ISR and communications
challenges
facing the world today, both domestic and abroad.
We look
forward to demonstrating and proving Argus One’s capabilities and
potential.”

Argus One was developed for Sanswire under contract by Eastcor
Engineering
, a US Department of Defense prime contractor, specializing
in high technology engineering products and services.
Sanswire and
Eastcor continue to work together on Argus One and other technologies at
the Company’s hangar facility located on the grounds of the Easton
Airport in Easton, MD, where the Argus One is currently housed.

You're really warning us of your impending Indian Spam that means nothing.

I'm a little irritable today,know why.

It's three days since my first munchies,after getting stoned.I ate alot of sugar and meat in those times.I've been to the crapper six times today.

My ring-gear (arsehole/sphincter),is swollen,puffy and very raw.

jawdrop

All that acidic sugars are coming out,it hurts so much,I thought of coating it with butter,as I have no savlon cream.

If I do one of those ripper farts,I might bleed,in a very embarressing way.It's so sore and tender,please help,feels like gravel up there and very scratchey.
