Alaskan airship enthusiasts have gathered together and are working to bring the World Sky Race^® to Alaska in 2016! The airships will pass through Alaska on their way from the Greenwich Prime Meridian to the gardens of the palace of Versailles. Their route will take them to Africa, the Middle East, across the Indian Ocean to Asia and the Orient, they’ll pass by the Pacific and Western shores of North America, down to Central America and back up to the North Atlantic.

“Alaskans should pay attention to this and get involved,” said Lieutenant Governor Mead Treadwell. “Not just because the competition of aerial giants is thrilling, but because of the opportunity airships bring to Alaska. The money that could be saved by airship delivery of goods to our remote and scattered communities off the road system is quite significant.”

The World Sky Race^tm will be the largest man-made event seen
by live spectators in the history of the human race.
