		Eckener, one might assume, was a bit skeptical that such a meeting would ever take place, but at least then he had plans for a newsworthy flight with which to again approach Hearst.
		Further, Eckener by-passed Leningrad and waiting crowds on the return flight (the reason he gave was deteriorating weather) and the stopover at Berlin's Tempelhof was a brief one.
		An additional factor was Eckener's consistent reluctance to sensationalize for the benefit of the press and eager readers the conditions encountered on his flights.
