On this day, April 4, 1936, the Hindenburg arrived in Rio de Janeiro.
On this day, April 4, 1936, the Hindenburg arrived in Rio de Janeiro, on the completion of its first commercial flight of the 1936 season. 1936 was its first season of operation and the only complete season of operation it was to have.
Of course someone on the internet keeps track of that.
The Hindenburg's Flight Schedule
Naturally, British Pathé has video of the arrival:

Here is a video that consist of a series of stills. These show both the Graf Zeppelin and the Hindenburg. They could be from any trip between 1932 and 1937. The Hindenburg made one successful roundtrip to Rio de Janeiro in 1937 before it set out for the United States in May 1937.

Here's footage taken from the Graf Zeppelin in 1932. This is what arrival in Rio de Janeiro would have looked like to passengers on the Hindenburg. There's also a part one of this video.
