Near Houston

We live in the country 25 miles SW of Houston. Very unusual to look up and see the airship coming right at us!

Wife and daughter saw y'all fly by north of our house around noon. Wife says you seemed to be following State highway 6 at the time. Daughter expected your Zeppelin to be full of dogs since she is an Up! fan. Regretfully the cellphone photo is small and fuzzy.

Seen in Texas

Pretty neat considering I work for Farmers Insurance! I was on my way back to work from lunch and looked up and there it she was.

Last views locally

Before Eureka departed on her six month tour, we had a number of sightings of her locally. She returned to the skies at the start of April, doing some passenger flights after being in the hangar for annual maintenance for a month.

Viewed blimp travelling northward from Moffitt field over San Carlos on 04/03/2011 - st

We were in San Francisco on April 3rd. While walking along the Embarcadero we caught a glimpse of you over the ferry buliding. Nice clear day for your flight! - Holly Gant

Seen from Alcatraz

We were in San Francisco on vacation from Wisconsin. While touring Alcatraz, we went into the yard and thats when we saw the Zeppelin. I originally took the picture for my Farmers Insurance agent, then I was reading an article on yahoo about your Zeppelin and decided to check out your web site.

Walking the dog in Alamo Square

Every day I walk my dog in Alamo Square in San Francisco. We leave between 3:45 and 4:00PM every afternoon. As we are walking down towards the famous "Seven Sisters", I can see the Farmers Airship flying over the Oakland area or directly over the bay. Today, as I was taking off my shoes, I looked out my window and saw it flying just above the tree line in Alamo Square itself.

Hovering over Downtown Los Angeles. 2/1/2011

It was great to walk outside and see Eureka hovering over my place of work. Luckily I had my camera and the right lens to capture it.
