What an awesome present


I saw you in SF on 07-26-09 and thought what an awesome present for my two 16 year olds as a birthday present.

Over Morgan Hill this afternoon




I watched N704LZ pass slightly to the east of my house, northbound over Morgan Hill at 12:22 this afternoon, until it disappeared over the roof.

Very clear views of Zeppelin drive and control surfaces.

Must have been a glorious morning up there.

She looked very beautiful as she floated across the blue Summer sky

We were driving over the Bay Bridge from the East Bay towards the beautiful city of San Francisco at about 11.15am today, and my younger son spotted the airship coming towards us. Both the children were more than excited to see it. Sadly, as I was driving, I didn't manage to get a picture.

She looked very beautiful as she floated across the blue Summer sky.

You were overflying my birthday party

You where overflying my birthday party this July 4th and it was my favorite present by far.

We live in San Pedro and are often visited by the Goodyear Blimp at rather close quarters, and have flown on it two years ago.
The pilot said that they often use our very tall date palm as a mark. We love our Blimp but we hope to cruise with you the next time you come south.

Rigid Lighter-Than-Air lives again and we couldn't be more excited!

Thank you,
Jonn and Maureen Retsek

She moved toward the Santa Cruz Mountains

Saturday, July 11, 2009, over my house in the foothills of Los Gatos. The blimp then moved toward the Santa Cruz mountains. I could not get a picture as I was looking directly into the sun.

"Honey, I think it wants to pass us."

Cruised across Santa Barbara County



The Airship Ventures Zeppelin N704LZ Eureka cruised across Santa Barbara County on its way from Long Beach to its home base at Moffett Field on Wednesday, July 8, 2009. It passed over UCSB and Isla Vista at 1:22 PM PDT. It was cruising at an altitude of 2,800 feet and a speed of 37 knots. It passed so quietly that most bystanders failed to notice it.
