LZ Carolyn was one such LZ ; first established as a special forces outpost near Cambodia at Prek Lok in Tay Ninh province, it was abandoned and later occupied by mechanized elements of the 1st Infantry Division.

LZ Carolyn appeared threatened with total destruction as the thundering conflagration tossed detonating artillery projectiles to shower men and equipment with flying rounds and burning shell fragments.

Their heyday was during the 1930s when the airships LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin and LZ 129 Hindenburg operated regular transatlantic flights from Germany to North America and Brazil.

The prototype airship LZ 1 ( LZ for Luftschiff Zeppelin, or " Airship Zeppelin ") had a length of, was driven by two Daimler engines and was controlled in pitch by moving a weight between its two nacelles.

As Air Force rules prohibited AC-130 aircraft from remaining in hostile airspace in daylight after the crash of an AC-130 in Khajfi in the Gulf War, the AC-130 support protecting Mako 30 was forced to leave before Razor 01 reached the LZ, although the leadership was aware that Razor 01 was incoming.

Due to the satellite communications difficulties, Razor 01 was mistakenly directed to the " hot " LZ on the peak at.

The first lighter-than-air aircraft of any type to circumnavigate the Earth under its own power was the rigid airship LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin, which did so in 1929.

However, in 1993 the Zeppelin manufacturing company Luftschiffbau Zeppelin ( LZ ) was re-established and in 2001 a commercial airline Deutsche Zeppelin Reederei ( DZR ) began flying passenger service from Friedrichshafen Airport.

A limited number of areas suitable for glider landings and a reluctance from troop command to fly too near to Arnhem, exposing them to flak from Deelen airfield after the drop, meant that Urquhart was forced to pick drop zones ( DZ ) and landing zones ( LZ ) up to from Arnhem itself, on the north side of the river.

However, he was given command of The King's Own Scottish Borderers who were moving toward LZ ' L ' to secure it for Tuesday's landing.

Shortly after the second lift arrived, the first supply drop was made onto LZ ' L '.

Duralumin sample from the USS Akron ( ZRS-4 ) Its first use was in rigid airship frames eventually including all those of the " Great Airship " era of the 1920s and 1930s: the German passenger Zeppelins LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin, LZ 129 Hindenburg, LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II, and U. S. Navy airships USS Los Angeles ( ZR-3, ex-LZ 126 ), USS Akron ( ZRS-4 ) and USS Macon ( ZRS-5 ).

The prototype airship LZ 1 ( LZ for " Luftschiff Zeppelin ") had a length of 128 m, was driven by two 14. 2 ps ( 10. 6 kW ) Daimler engines and balanced by moving a weight between its two nacelles.

It lasted for only 18 minutes, as LZ 1 was forced to land on the lake after the winding mechanism for the balancing weight had broken.

Van Buskirk stated that the Hatchet Force was exposed on the Landing Zone (" LZ ") when the teargas agent was deployed to drive the enemy back.

The designated destination in France was Landing Zone ( LZ ) E, an area co-located with and slightly overlapping one of the paratroop drop zones, DZ C. The area was chosen as central to the operations of the division and because a BUPS beacon (" Beacon, Ultra Portable S-band ") was to be in place there on which the serial commander could guide using the SCR-717 search radars installed in the aircraft of flight leaders.

When a sizeable enemy force was located, it could be decisively engaged, forced to move on, or if determined to be elsewhere, the LZ would be abandoned for a new location after a successful mission.

Incoming rocket and mortar rounds fired by the VC / NVA were a daily and nightly occurrence, and skirmishes near the LZ were common.

Then on the night of May 6, 1969, an entire NVA regiment ( 95C ) attacked the LZ, which was defended by 300 US Army troops.

The insertion took place with intense NVA fire pouring into the LZ, and the Huey crews and newly arrived Battalion forces suffered many casualties.

Company K continued on to their objective of south of LZ Crow, but they were repulsed by NVA fire as they tried to cross the Ngan River with the loss of three Marines killed and five wounded.

In the heavy jungle, the Cobras mistook the 3 / 187th battalion command post on the LZ for an NVA unit and attacked, killing two and wounding thirty-five, including Honeycutt.

Thirty seconds from the Landing Zone ( LZ ) one of the helicopters veered to the right, clipping the tail rotor of a second aircraft.

LZ 37 crashes in Sint-Amandsberg, Belgium, killing one person on the ground and all but one of LZ 37s crew.

LZ Yankee was on sloping ground and could only fit about 6-8 hueys at one time.

It was during this lift that one Huey, having approached the LZ too high, crash-landed on the outskirts of the perimeter near the command post ( those on board were quickly rescued by the battalion ).

Abraham Lempel (, born 10 February 1936 ) is an Israeli computer scientist and one of the fathers of the LZ family of lossless data compression algorithms.

Their tasks were to mark the drop zones ( DZ ) or landing zones ( LZ ), set up radio beacons as a guide for the aircraft carrying the main force and to clear and protect the area as the main force arrive.

* Conduct specialized surveying to include: underwater reconnaissance and / or demolitions, beach permeability and topography, routes, bridges, structures, urban / rural areas, helicopter landing zones ( LZ ), parachute drop zones ( DZ ), aircraft forward operating sites, and mechanized reconnaissance missions.

The Lempel – Ziv ( LZ ) compression methods are among the most popular algorithms for lossless storage.

DEFLATE is a variation on LZ which is optimized for decompression speed and compression ratio, but compression can be slow.

LZ methods use a table-based compression model where table entries are substituted for repeated strings of data.

Cover carried on the LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin | Graf Zeppelin from 1933 Century of Progress Exposition franked with C-18 US Air Mail stamp issued for the airship's visit.

The North Vietnamese were closing in, but McCarley, instead of moving toward an LZ large enough for the extraction of the entire force, dropped off elements at three separate ( and smaller ) landing zones, catching the North Vietnamese unprepared.

Although the three gliders carrying the coup-de-main force targeting the Caen Canal bridge were supposed to land at 00: 20 at LZ X, the lead glider was actually released slightly earlier, at 00: 07, and landed at 00: 15, using a specially-designed parachute which deployed from the rear of the glider ( fitted to compensate for heavily laden troopers ) to slow its speed and ensure it was not destroyed by the impact.

Whilst two gliders landed intact at 00: 20 at LZ Y, the third glider was released off-target when the aircraft towing the glider mistook the River Dives for the Orne, and the glider landed eight miles ( 13 km ) east of its intended target.

The planned and briefed landing zone for the gliders was LZ W, located two miles ( 3 km ) southeast of Sainte-Mère-Église, but a smaller landing zone had also been put in operation that morning north of the town on Drop Zone O.

The C-47s released their gliders for the original LZ, unaware of the aids on LZ O.

The second wave of mission Elmira arrived at 2255 just as the terrain was enveloped in shadow, and since no other pathfinder aids were operating, headed for the Eureka beacon on LZ O.

The first released early and came down near or within German lines, but the second came down on Landing Zone O, except for 5 who followed their briefing orders and landed on LZ W. Even so, virtually all of the personnel of both battalions made their way to the 82nd Airborne positions by morning, and had 15 of their 24 guns in operation by sundown of June 8.

Although LZ 129 Hindenburg is most famous for its fiery end, for the 14 months of its existence, it carried considerable amounts of mail overseas, and many of those are readily available today.

The LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II was the last of the zeppelins to carry mail ; it was in civilian service for only a few months, from October 1938 to August 1939, and made only 30 trips, all within Germany.

Submunition and thermobaric weapons are often used to clear landing zones ( LZ ) for helicopters.
