TDIH: July 6, 1919, British airship R34 completed the first airship crossing of the Atlantic. It also carried the first foreigner to reach US soil by air, Major J.E.M. Pritchard. As the landing crew had no experience with airships, Pritchard parachuted out to provide instructions to secure the R34.

Round 9 of the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Character elimination Contest. Raiten Menimemo, British Judge and Courtney Sithe have been declared guilty. We will eliminate 2 characters of the 24 remaining, some will say it's too soon but I think seeing the list of voted characters 2 will be enough.

Where can I find a list of visual tasks within the airship map?
UPDATE - found this: https://www.pcgamesn.com/among-us/maps-layout-vents
According to pcgamesn (if anyone could verify this that would be wonderful) - โThe Airship visual tasks are: Decontaminate, Pick Up Towels, Put Away Rifles, and Put Away Pistols.โ
ANOTHER UPDATE - ITS POSSIBLE THAT AIRSHIP VISUAL TASKS COULD CURRENTLY BE BUGGED, ACCORDING TO THIS - https://youtu.be/6hIyQHANU2s

The R-101 moored here was the largest craft in the world (until the Hindenburg) and crashed on her maiden voyage, killing 48 out of 54 on board. The crash effectively ended the nascent British airship program.
