Oshkosh all Week!

2011-08-03T17:11:00.000-07:00

It wasn't too hard to miss as it was in Oshkosh all week! Was fun to see it floating over the city and the demo flight for the flightline crowd on Saturday was darned FRIGHTENING! But safe, I'm sure.

Sunset at AirVenture

2011-08-01T07:53:00.000-07:00

As I was walking around on my last night at Airventure 2011, I saw you coming in to land. From my angle, you went right by the American flag. The picture isn't great but the memories are fantastic.

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.

Wakesurfing on the Lake

2011-07-18T23:24:00.000-07:00

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!

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.

Flying Cloud Airport

2011-07-12T18:49:00.000-07:00

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

2011-07-12T18:40:00.000-07:00

Seen From Milwaukee Airport Restaurant

2011-07-10T04:52:00.000-07:00

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

2011-07-07T14:49:00.000-07:00

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

From USB Building

2011-07-07T09:47:00.000-07:00

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

2011-07-07T09:06:00.000-07:00

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

Over my Trike Motorcycle

2011-07-03T18:56:00.000-07:00

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

2011-06-30T05:40:00.000-07:00

Wanting Airship Badly

2011-06-29T20:02:00.000-07:00

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!

2011-06-29T18:16:00.000-07:00

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

2011-06-27T07:36:00.000-07:00

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.

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

2011-06-18T15:53:00.000-07:00

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

2011-06-18T12:20:00.000-07:00

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.

Crossing the Delaware River

2011-06-06T08:29:00.000-07:00

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.

-- John

Moored in Philadelphia

2011-06-05T16:53:00.000-07:00

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!"

-- Bob in West Chester, PA

Watering the Garden

2011-06-03T16:15:00.000-07:00

2am Sighting

2011-05-17T00:10:00.000-07:00

I just took my puppy outside at 2am, looked up, and saw the Farmers Airship right above my house! As I was half-asleep, I must say I thought I had lost my grip on reality for a few minutes. What an amazing sight! I am hoping to see it land back at the North Perry airport, but so far nothing... I have my camera ready!

I was driving from Atlanta GA to the Orlando FL area on Friday (5/6/11) and saw what appeared to be a blimp quite a distance away. I was really excited when I realized that it was actually the Farmers airship flying high around the Ocala FL area.

While running an errand on Wednesday evening, I gazed at the lake as I crossed over a bridge towards the New Orleans Lakefront airport( a small airport for private planes ) I noticed a large object that looked like it could have been an airship. I decided to take a closer look. I slowly drove over to the secluded area and just as I passed a large building, to my surprise I spotted the "Farmers" airship sitting there, majestically waiting to be photographed.
