Stormwrack contains stats for ships. Take these and add 'and it flies' to the end.

Actually, it's a bit more complex, the stats for a flying ship look something like this:

(From my own Campaign)

Flawless Horizon

Collosall Vehicle
Airworthynes: +2
Handling: +4
Speed: Windx60’ (Average/Good) (Windx40 if net 30 tons or more)
Flight: Good
Overall AC: -3
Hull Sections: 28 (Break Up – 6 Sections)
Section HP: 80 (Hardness 5)
Section AC: 3
Rigging Sections: 3
Rigging HP: 80 (Hardness 0)
Rigging AC 1
Mounts: 4 Light, 4 Heavy
Space: 60’20’

Eberron has airships - basically elemental-powered large flying vehicles that look like ships. Is that the sort of thing you were thinking of?

Arms and Equipment Guide also has rules on vehicles, including a couple of airships.

Or you could go with a Storm Giant Hulking Hurler, but you go through a lotta boats that way.

That's just SpellJammer with a new coat of paint, 'armorall' on the tires, and 'motorhoney' in the engine! :smirk:

A Dragon magazine I read had the stats for a blimp thingey that had bombing ports on the bottom.
