A hot lz is a military term for a landing zone (hence LZ) that is under heavy fire. It was used many times in Vietnam due to the constant in and out of helicopters. During a "hot" LZ, the landing zone was under too much fire for a helicopter to land, so the soldiers must jump out of the helicopter in stead of it landing. The helicopter never touches the ground for the purpose of getting in and out as fast as possible.

A Drop Zone (DZ) is where Paratroopers land, a Landing Zone (LZ) is where Gliders land. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com
During the Vietnam War, ARP's were Aerial Rifle Platoons that secured LZ's (Landing Zones).
There were hundreds of US Firebases (sometimes referred to as LZ's/Landing Zones) in Vietnam; Landing Zones had a tendency to turn into firebase, just a very few were: Firebase Blackhawk and LZ Action along the Mang Yang Pass in the Central Highlands; Firebase Vandergrift and Lang Vei along Route 9 (aka Hwy 9; QL 9); Camp Carroll (aka Firebase Carroll). Firebases English, Rifle, Ripcord, Mary Ann, etc.
The exact number of zeppelins built varies depending on how they are classified, but the most famous type, the rigid airships developed by the Zeppelin Company, produced around 100 vessels between 1900 and the end of the 1930s. Notable models include the LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin and the LZ 129 Hindenburg. Other manufacturers also created similar airships, contributing to the total, but rigid zeppelins remain the most recognized. Overall, the number of operational zeppelins was relatively small compared to other types of aircraft.
Already answered this question, but didn't define the "LZ" part. LZ=Landing Zone.
The term "hot" during the war did NOT mean the weather. The term "hot" referred to enemy activity. When GIs heard that an AO (Area of Operations) was "hot" the next question from them was , "How hot? NVA or VC?" Then after that question was answered, then more questions could be asked, like what kind of weapons? Etc. LZ means Landing Zone. Originally beach areas where the landing was taking place, but now it applies to helicopter landing zones. A "hot" LZ meant going in shooting (because the enemy was going to be shooting when you came in).

LZ Granderson was born on 1972-03-11.
During the Vietnam War, LZ stood for Landing Zone. Within weeks or months many of those Landing Zones became firebases. Consequently, one might hear the words, "LZ Blackhawk or LZ Rifle"...when referring to Firebase Blackhawk or Firebase Rifle. The LZ's were for designated helicopter landings originally.
LZ 129 is not an element. It refers to the German passenger airship Graf Zeppelin.
