AIRSHIP ABORTS LANDING 4 times due to ANNOYING UP WINDS - Blimp Landing (4K)

Описание: This airship had to deal with annoying upwinds while trying to land at Essen/Mülheim Airport after a short advertising flight over the Ruhr area. I don` t know exactly what happend here, maybe someone with more knowledge could tell us in the comment section why the Blimp was pushed up after it deployed its "reversers" multiple times. I assume it` s caused either by upwinds or probably thermic? Also note that the Blimp pilot changed the approach during his foruth attempt. He landed the Blimp like an airplane but sadly the upwinds caused the Airship to go up again but the fifth attempt was succesful. This blimp is the last operational blimp worldwide. Other companies like Goodyear retired its last Blimps a few years ago and switched to Zeppelins which were built in Friedrichshafen, germany. Currently there are 3 Airships active in Germany, two of them are based in Friedrichshafen and one of them is based at Essen/Mülheim. The shown Blimp is operated by WDL Luftschiff and is one of the oldest airship companies in germany.WDL Luftschiff was the reason why I gained lots of interest in aviation. Watching this massive airship pass by was quite impressive when I was a child and that was one of the reasons why I visited Düsseldorf Airport for the first time back when I was younger.
