The roots of some sports are so far removed from what they have become that it’s a wonder they ever developed at all. Even the equipment that is taken for granted by participants has an intriguing past. The history of racquets, balls, protective gear, even ice skates can be traced back for centuries.

Have you ever been to a show of old airplanes? I haven’t seen one, but I have seen movies and pictures of them. They were pretty big and high off the ground. There were all different kinds of them, and most of them have been taken out of service.
Now one of these old planes has come back to our air space. It is called the Zeppelin, and these crafts haven’t been in use for 70 years. It was bought from a company in Germany where it was also built and then transported by container to Moffett Field in California. There are only three in the whole world with one in Germany and Japan and now in the United States. The company here has ordered two more in the hopes that this type of travel will catch on.
