The Orca Express over the headlands

Bothered by steadily rising cost of fuel, coastal commuter airline, Air Headlands, was struggling to keep their company aloft. After months of trying to trim costs while maintaining their vintage fleet of DeHavilland Beaver float planes, the twin brothers who own Air Headlands decided to take drastic action, selling their entire fleet of fixed-wing aircraft and spending the profits on hot air. Their friends though they were nuts of course, but these two visionaries had a plan.
But just what to replace the planes with was the key question here. They needed the float plane's water-landing capabilities and the tight maneuverability offered by these compact, hard working DeHavillands. Plus, they wanted to upgrade their service to fit the upscale residents now living among the headlands.
As though operating as a single brain, these two launched their visionary plan; a "green" plan. They began constructing a luxury blimp to service the towns and villages up and down the coast. Blown by the ever-present coastal winds and steered by giant fins; this would be the Mercedes of commuter aircraft; transporting their guests in a smooth quiet luxury gondola; floating on, and propelled by, the most renewable resource known: the wind.
Air Headlands owners' oxingenated insight resulted in their launching the Orca Express, and the rest, as they say, is history; a whale-sized history to be sure!
Today, if you sit for a while on any of Oregon's coastal headlands and de-focus your eyes a little and you just might glimpse one of these graceful ships floating by, classical music echoing out her open windows, mixed with the faint sound of whale songs — seemingly coming from her gas bag.
