Ship after the Storm

I stumbled upon the ship during a walk from the fly-in parking following a thunderstorm at EAA Airventure 2011 in Oshkosh, WI – a beautiful sight!

Surprised When Mowing

I was mowing the yard, couldn't believe what I was seeing, ran in the house for the camera. It was great. I live at Northfield, Wi right along !-94.

Thanks for stopping by Minnesota. Had a great time...

-- Rick Lockhart

I saw the blimp out my back window. I have seen it 5 times and I like to see it! I would love to take a ride in it one day!

-- Makayla Gedrose

I thought I was in an episode of "Fringe!"

My husband and I were in southern Minnesota over the weekend. Right we were just south of Shakopee (where we live) we saw the airship. The first thing I thought was that I was in an episode of Fringe and was on the other side. Haha.

-- Liza Hall

Shakopee, MN

I was stepping from my car the other day and heard an "engine prop" noise. I looked up and there was the Airship.....Shakopee, MN

Wakesurfing on the Lake

Some friends and I were wakesurfing behind my yellow and white boat on Spring Lake just south of Prior Lake, MN on 7/18/11. There were only a couple of other boats on the water. The airship passed over several times pretty low and was tracking with us. I'm sure they got some awesome shots if they were filming. I'd love to see the footage sometime, if they got any. Thanks!

Eureka at Air Expo

I got to see the airship Eureka yesterday at the Air Expo! It was flying in and out all day, and I waved to it every time.

(I also have a really good video of the airship flying overhead, http://www.flickr.com/photos/dia_bear/5945198657/)

Savage, MN

Saw her over savage, mn, approximately 3:50pm, 7-16-11. BEAUTIFUL SIGHT TO SEE!! thank you!

-- Bitsy Coulston

Fall River, Wisconsin

I saw the Eureka from about 10 miles away. I was driving towards it and got excited because it was going to fly over my home town. I called home and made sure my mom and kids would run out to get a look. When I got to town(Fall River, Wisconsin) it flew right over me. It's an awesome ship.

Soccer Practice, Rosemount, MN

Soccer practice on Monday night in Rosemount, MN. My son's 10 year old team was so excited to see the ship! What a thrill for them.

Franlo Park

July 12, 2011 around 7pm We saw the airship at Franlo Park right before it landed at Flying Cloud airport in Eden Prairie, MN

We have been tracking the ship and my son is so excited to see the airship up close this weekend at the airshow.

After Shopping Supertarget

After shopping at Supertarget in Chaska (near Hazeltine National Golf Course)...I saw the ship in the east/northeast sky. Thought it was very cool. It was just before noon on July 13th.

Have seen it in the skies of the twin cities. Made me smile!

No camera tho, I was driving... Hopefully I can see it again...

-- Lori Fugate

Shakopee, MN

We saw the Zeppelin this morning in Shakopee, MN around 11 AM. My son was playing soccer at the Community Center when we saw it. The kids thought it was very cool and it attracted lots of attention. I didn't think to snap a photo of it.

Mystic Lake Casino, Prior Lake, MN

My coworker knows that I love airships and while she was out for lunch she called me to run out of the office and watch it fly over Mystic Lake Casino, Prior Lake, MN. We had all read about it in the newspaper that morning and I had the article in my hand. It was too far away to get a good pic but I was able to go to the website and I signed up online for a standby flight.

-- Tom Iverson

So friendly looking!

It is beautiful! And so friendly looking! I just saw it while driving on 494 in Eden Prairie.

Just saw the Ship flying over my office in Eden Prairie MN. Caused quite a bit of excitement among my coworkers!

Saw you craft on final approach to Flying Cloud airport in Eden Prairie Tuesday July 12th about 6:45 pm. Beautiful aircraft with Farmers logo displayed on it's side.

Flying Cloud Airport

I went out to see the Eureka arrive at Flying Cloud Airport in Minnesota! I had to race around the airport to get the best views, and its a very grand airship. I suspect that my friend may have been flying out at the airport today, I'll be very envious if he got to see it arrive from the air. I hope to see more of the Eureka this weekend at the MN Air Expo!

-- Denver Bear

Rosemount Minnesota

We saw the airship fly over Rosemount Minnesota tonight during soccer practice. All of the kindergarten/1st grade boys stopped playing and just stared at the sky. My daughter started singing "we are farmers, bum, bumpa, bummpam..." So funny!

- Rachel Henely

Farmington MN

We were on a bike ride and saw it east of Farmington MN. Hopefully it goes in circles and goes over us. Didnt get to see it very well.

-- Scott Payne

Sparta, Wisconsin

We tracked it from the time it left Milwaukee and came across the Airship just before it crossed I90 by Sparta Wisconsin.

Seen From Milwaukee Airport Restaurant

This beauty is awesome. We saw it on the ground yesterday morning here in Milwaukee, (we eat breakfast Saturdays at the restaraunt right on the edge of the airport) and didn't know what we were looking at! I'd seen the blimps before many times, but didn't realize this was a rigid frame ship. Went back this morning early to get the attached pictures. Beautiful, I wish I had found out in time to make arrangements for a tour.

-- Don Dellmann

Milwaukee

I saw airship Eureka at 12:15 this afternoon, floating above the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I can only imagine what it must have been like during the golden age of airships in the 1920s and 1930s, when airship sightings were more common.

-- Abbey Manalli

2nd & Michigan

I saw it float by...2nd & Michigan in Milwaukee. Awesome!

-- Cheryl Madden

From USB Building

We see a lot of interesting things out our window from the 30th floor of the USB building downtown Milwaukee, WI, but today we saw the Farmers Ins. Blimp! Quite a surprise so I googled it and came up with this website! Was wondering if it is here for Summerfest (our 11 day lakefront music festival) or had another purpose? Great to see you (it) in our skies!! Safe travel!

-- Beth Hilton

Island Lake, IL

Around 11 p.m. CDT on July 6, 2011, we were outside with the dog and saw an enormous sight slowly flying overhead. When researched it appears that the Zeppelin Airship is what was flying over head. Also the tracking system you have on your website confirms that it was flying over Island Lake, IL at the time my son and I saw it.

-- Patsy Daniels

Over Milwaukee

Here is the Zeppelin flying above Milwaukee looking east towards Lake Michigan on July 7th 2011 (10am)

25 Feet Overhead

DuPage County Control Tower

While capturing some video of the Farmers Insurance Airship, I noticed a long-distance juxtaposition with the Dupage County Control Tower.

Over my Trike Motorcycle

On the morning of July 3rd, 2011 as I was getting ready to go riding on my trike motorcycle I heard this strange noise. I looked up and there above my house was the Farmers Insurance Zepplin flying by a couple of hundred feet above me!! Wished I'd had my camera out !! It was really awesome !! I'd never seen an airship from that perspective before !!! WOW !!
This was in South Elgin, IL. Amazing !!!

-- Capt. Dan

Elgin, IL

It just flew over our neighborhood in Elgin, IL after taking off from the DuPage Airport. It's really cool (and big)!
