A busy day at Lakehurst in 1930.
This photo show six types of various LTA craft:
ZK (kite balloon), ZF (Free Balloon), ZMC-2 (Metal Clad Blimp), ZR-3 (Rigid) USS Los Angeles, J-2 and J3 Blimps (never designated with Z)
Golden years of LTA operations.

For perspective, as crowded as this looks, it is most likely 1/2 mile between the closest and furthest craft (USS Los Angeles is 656 ft in length).
