Over the past two days, a Reddit user who goes by the username <strong>The Zeppelin Girl<\/strong> has been attempting to recreate in real-time its famous journey from Frankfurt to the United States. The flight was expected to last around 30 hours, but due to weather conditions and other technical difficulties, it seems it will end up being around <strong>50 hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are interested in following her journey, you just have to go to the website <strong>Volanta<\/strong>. Just like in real life with <strong>Flight Radar<\/strong>, you will be able to track The Zeppelin Girl&#8217;s trip at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MicrosoftFlightSim\/comments\/1cr394z\/lz129_status_report_cross_the_atlantic_day_2\/\">LZ129 status report: cross the Atlantic day 2<\/a><br> by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/PzKpfwIIIAusfL\/\">u\/PzKpfwIIIAusfL<\/a> in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MicrosoftFlightSim\/\">MicrosoftFlightSim<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/microsoft-flight-sim-pilot-attempts-to-recreate-historic-hindenburg-flight-to-the-usa-all-50-hours-of-it-and-you-can-track-her-progress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"readwrite\">readwrite<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Microsoft Flight Simulator\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/18dc5d43-1252-4412-82e5-a97d115ee351\/1318333408\/microsoft-flight-simulator-2020-q.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Microsoft Flight Simulator<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/microsoft-flight-simulator-2020.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/microsoft-flight-simulator-2020.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although many may know this story, it doesn&#8217;t hurt to refresh it.
