Hawthorn Woods, IL

I was surprised to see this giant blimp on a beautiful day over Hawthorn Woods, IL on my way home today. Turns out it's actually a zeppelin crisscrossing Chicago.

On it's visit to Muskegon, MI. We were honored by the presence of the airship. We hope you had a great stop and welcome back anytime. We have had many calls to the office today from people who saw it and wanted us to know that they visit was appreciated as one of the most exciting things they had ever seen!

Wanting Airship Badly



My 6 1/2 year old could not believe what he was seeing at the Muskegon County Airport in Muskegon, Michigan. When I picked him up at 4pm on a Wednesday, I said I had a surprise for him and we were going to the airport to watch it.

For the 10 minute car ride, he wanted me to tell him what it was that was so exciting. I made him try to guess and the only three clues were 1) he hasn't seen one before in person, 2) it will be landing at the airport and 3) even dad (me) had not seen one land before. First guess... a rocket! Well, not quite but about as exciting! He never did guess correctly but tried and tried.

When the airship came in for a passenger exchange, I thought for sure Andrew was going to do a back flip and then climb the fence to go and see it. For the brief time it was on the ground, he just couldn't believe what he was seeing. One thousand questions later... well, not one thousand but close, he had exhausted my knowledge on rigid airships and wanted me to look up more on my phone while we watched it fly away.

Clearly memories that will stay with both of us for a lifetime. Thank you Farmers' and Airship Ventures!

Birds, Butterflies and Zeppelins!


I was in my backyard with my dog, and my camera, as I like to take pictures of my flowers and birds and butterflies and bugs, etc. I heard what I thought was a helicopter, and I looked up and said out loud, "Whoa!" Then I started taking pictures of the Farmers Blimp! It was awesome, going right over our house and neighborhood!

Willow Run Airport




While going outside to work in a friend's yard, I spotted the Eureka flying over by Willow Run Airport. So I grabbed my camera and went wild. What a fantastic sight to behold a Zeppelin in person in the 21st Century. The only thing better would have to been on board for a ride.

Ann Arbor, MI

Out jogging on a beautiful Sunday in Ann Arbor, MI. I turn a corner and look-up to see the Eureka/Farmer's Insurance airship. Wonder if they stopped at the Ann Arbor airport (which is where other airships have stopped).

Always fun and a bit exciting to see!

Winnie, Texas


I am a Farmers Agent so several of my customers called me and told me that the Farmers Blimp (I told them is was a Zeppelin) was flying over Winnie. I grew up in Houston Texas and saw the Goodyear blimp growing up. I never thought I would see an airship flying over Winnie and Hamshire Texas. It was very exciting to have a Zeppelin flying over my office and home. It was much more special that is was our very own Farmers air ship! I was pretty popular in town after that day. It was an overcast day on April 20th 2011 but you could see the airship very well. I took these pics from my back yard.

Blairsville, PA

My co-workers and I watched as the airship flew over Blairsville PA heading west towards Pittsburgh above the I22NS coal tipple right along Rt22 on Saturday morning. Very interesting to see.

Floating Over Our Home, Portage, PA

We saw the ship floating right over our house 389 Plane Road Portage, PA. It was so very close. The kids had a great time watching it.

Crossing the Delaware River

I was standing outside this morning when I saw the airship coming from Pennsylvania across the Delaware River toward Trenton, NJ. I watched as it passed over the Department of Labor building. It was quite impressive. I have never seen this airship before and I noticed that the underside had a message on it stating that it was available to ride. So, I went to the website and learned that rides are available. I have always wanted to ride in an airship and now I am definitely going to book a flight.

Moored in Philadelphia


Academy road ran along the fence and provided a good view of the Eureka while moored. What struck me about the NT as opposed to other blimps I've seen was how "solid" it seemed while on the ground; not "flimsy" at all. A platform was hoisted below an engine and a tech climbed a rope ladder to service it. Its quite an impressive vehicle. Of course I did have to put up with the passing jogger who yelled, "Remember the Hindenburg!"

Hi there. I work for ILC Dover, the company who built the airship's envelop. I looked up this evening and saw the zeppelin flying near my home. It was very cool to see knowing I've worked on the airship.

Denton, Maryland

My husband and I were riding down Rt. 404 in Denton, MD, and passed right below it. That's how I found your page through the advertisement on the side of the ship.
