Night dirigible flight sets New York record at Times Building
Frank Goodale, the Palisades Park aviator, piloted a baby dirigible from the park to Times Square and back in under an hour, circling the Times Building and Hammerstein's roof. The daring night voyage drew 5,000 spectators, disrupted Broadway activity, and topped his daylight best with a near straight-line path from New Jersey. Goodale credited calm night air and a new ship for the success, noting the importance of nighttime conditions for balloon flights.
