Saw her coming over the Ocean

We saw the ship coming over the ocean above San Simeon, California. I had positioned myself on the boardwalk in nearby Cambria. Then it turned inland (to fly over Hearst Castle). I jumped in the car and headed down the highway. It was really moving and was almost overhead when I got a clear view.

Very fun. Photo was taken on south end of Cambria just off Highway 1.

Saw you in Cambia; beautiful!

I live in Calabasas, Ca., but was in Cambria yesterday. I read in the local paper that you were on your way to Brown Field for a distance record. Sure enough, about a little before ten there you were! Between the hills and the fog, what a beautiful sight! And me, with no camera. Next time!

From Farmers

I received a call from one of our insured's about the sighting, and looked out our office window. What wonderful advertising for us.

Above Fiscalini Ranch Preserve

I saw the ship make a course change over San Simeon, while in Cambria. I was expecting her. We almost missed her in Cambria as she followed HWY 1 but saw her appear above the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve. What a beautiful sight. Made my day!

From our Backyard in Nipomo

My two young daughters and I were able to view it from our backyard in Nipomo, CA heading toward Santa Maria.

It was very exciting to watch the attempt at breaking a record!

Over the Hills from Cambria to Cayucos

We tracked your progress on the internet and were watching for you to come over the hills from Cambria to Cayucos. Much to our surprise you were right overhead before we knew it. There was a bit of thin low fog that hid you from sight. We took this picture from a highway 1 pull out between Morro Bay and Cayucos.

Cambria

From Moonstone Beach in Cambria we spotted it first coming down the coast near the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse. We watched it get near the Hearst Castle Warehouse, and last we watched it fly over Cambria.

Very fun!

So quiet, I had to use your tracking system!

I usually hear "blimps" coming as they pass over my rancho at the gateway to Edna Valley, San Luis Obispo, many times during the year. This is a super quiet airship and had to use your tracking system.

Over Arroyo Grande High School

I work for the school district and had been following the progress all morning. We caught a glimpse before it left the airspace over Arroyo Grande High School.

Missed her in Redondo Beach

I waited all day in Redondo Beach but the ship went inland. :(

The best glimps I got was about 40 mi away.

I always read "signonsandiego.com" and of course ALWAYS LA TIMES. That's how I found out about it.

From my Front Yard

Tracked the flight on the map on internet and waited out in my front yard for Eureka. Finally it passed by about 12:50 p.m. I took the photo from my front yard. Fantastic airship!!! And a beautiful sight from just out my front door.

Seen over Hollywood

Alan Duke sends us this great photo of Eureka over LA this afternoon.

Watching the airship fly overhead never gets old

It's good to see the Eureka again.

I caught the Eureka soaring over San Francisco on Sunday. Watching the airship fly overhead never gets old.
