Dirigibles Are Fly
So, did a dirigible ever dock with a skyscraper? Well, apparently one got hitched to the Empire State Building for a few minutes in September 1931. (You can even get a souvenir poster of the event.) It didn’t work so well, partly because of the crosswinds at that height, and partly because the dirigibles of that era weren’t such a hot idea. Actually, airships do work pretty well, as long as you don’t paint them with rocket fuel.
