San Francisco flight as the sun was setting

Dec 29th, approx 5:15pm. I'd seen the ship on the 26th, but earlier in the day, this flight was as the sun was setting. The first shot, with the contrail was just as the ship was making its turn out by the Golden Gate Bridge. I got a couple shots with the contrail and this one came out best.

The 2nd shot was taken 3 minutes later, when the ship was just passing by Aquatic Park. I took about 20-25 shots this time, and I picked this one because it was the only picture where the anti-collision lights had strobed.

During test flights of your ship, D-LZNT...

I took these photos at the Zeppelin base at Friedrichshafen, Germany, on May 28, 2008, during test flights of your ship, D-LZNT. These are the colour schemes it was using for the test period. Thes colour schemes were later changed for flights in Holland and London, before it shipped to California. (I was very lucky to start my holidays near Friedrichshafen on the same day as the first test flight on May 21.)

I've always loved rigid airships and would kill to see one of the Hindenburg class

I was running errands all over Pacific Grove and Monterey and every where I went I could see the airship in the distance but never near where I was. Finally, I got out of my car to go into a Longs and looked up and it was right over me. Naturally my camera was in the trunk of the car for the first time that day and by the time I could get set up I could only get a some shots of it going away. I eagerly await a reappearance as I've always loved rigid airships and would kill to see one of the Hindenburg class in a modern (safe)form...

Not too many shots of it taking off so here's one.

And ever wonder what it looks like from inside? Here's one of those too.

Something unusual in the sky...

Was driving home after dropping my husband off at work. I could see something unusual in the sky, looked like it was above San Jose or so, I live in Santa Clara, it was traveling to the East of me. Pretty cool to see. Wish I would have had my digital camera with me.

Its the 4th time I've seen the airship and it's exciting each time

I was out for a walk during lunch and spotted the airship floating along 101 NB between Whipple Avenue and Holly St. It then turned and started coming southbound! It's alittle hazy so it wasn't a good picture day. Its the 4th time I've seen the airship and it's exciting each time.
