Eureka and Some NASA Classics

NASA had some of their beautiful classics out of storage and on the tarmac today.

Silhouetted by the fading sunlight, was the airship...

I work in Silicon Valley, so I often see the airship in the middle of the day, but yesterday was a special treat. I was just walking to my car at sunset, and the sky was painted with dusky oranges and purples. I looked up, and, hovering over the Skyline and silhouetted by the fading sunlight, was the airship, floating by in stately tranquility. It was just magical.

When the Zeppelin stepped up and did her "Happy Dance" in the sky, we were totally enthralled!

October 10,2009
David & I love boats & planes so what could be better than a combination of both at Fleet Week in San Francisco! We "oohed & aahed" at the Parade of Ships led by the SF Fire Boat spraying thousands of gallons of water high into the air. We "oohed & aahed" at the aerial acrobatics so brilliantly orchestrated, but when the Zeppelin stepped up and did her "Happy Dance" in the sky, we were totally enthralled with a ship that we decided we will most definitely ride one day!

Downtown Morgan Hill

October 6,2009, my husband was in downtown Morgan Hill and phoned me to go out onto our back deck to see the Zeppelin going by. I grabbed my camera and went running in time to see it passing very quickly down the valley towards San Jose. What a splendid sight to see!

Walking home from the Caltrain station

I was walking home from the Caltrain station this afternoon while listening to Metallica on my iPhone when I looked up and through the palm trees there was this large zeppelin sailing by.

Nice to see people enjoying the playground that is our airspace

As an avid veteran pilot, it was nice to see people enjoying the playground that is our airspace... right over the property.

Two Giants, Antonov and Zeppelin

Michael Cierpka (Ground Crew Chief on loan to us from Zeppelin) sends us these great photos he took the other day of Eureka in the background, and a wonderous Antonov An-124 transport in the foreground.

San Francisco Tour as Experienced from Oakland

A friend of ours sent us this nice mix he did of his flight last fall. It gives a good feel for our San Francisco tour as operated from Oakland airport. Includes some fun footage around 4:40 where we load the air stairs into the ship after the last flight of the day, prior to returning to home base.

Thanks Craig!

SF Symphony at the Embarcadero - Eureka appeared for the finale

The SF Symphony performed in the Embarcadero on September 11. The Eureka appeared just in time for the finale, flying past the Ferry Building as the orchestra played Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel Waltz.

We live under the airship approach path into Long Beach Airport

We live under the airship approach path into Long Beach Airport, so we see Eureka whenever she's in the area.

Here are shots of her at the mast on Sunday, 9/6, when the day's LA Basin tours were over.

I hope to get some better shots of her on approach, landing and departure next time she's in Long Beach. Or, if you prefer, I can point you to the vantage points on Signal Hill. A professional would surely make better use of the location.

Coming Home from Karate Practice

I was coming home from karate practice in Morgan Hill to Gilroy on Monterey Rd. It was white and it had a reddish orange "X" and a blueish strip. I thought it was really cool.
