Sunken Gardens Golf Course

I think you were testing the airship a few days back over Sunken Gardens Golf Course. I noticed the airship and waved to you guys a couple of times from the #2 tee box :) Then you followed us down the fairway. It felt very strange to have the airship right above our heads! But it was fun!!!!

Cambrian Tweet

The Cambrian Newspaper tweeted that the airship would fly over Cambria about 1:30 p.m. So I took my camera with me on my dog walk and snapped the pics of the airship over Moonstone Beach Drive.

Piedras Blancas Light Station

My husband and I live in a very remote area just north of the Piedras Blancas Light Station. We're lucky to be the only house right on the ocean. We've seen you fly over 4 or 5 times, but we haven't been able to get a photo. You always sneak up on us! ;) Today (1/20/11) you went over at about 1:15 pm...we were outside watching the missle launch from Vandenburg. We love watching you float over our house! I'll try to run out and wave next time.

San Francisco Sunset

Amazing San Francisco sunset on 01-17 but the ship turned east just prior to the shot of the year. You can still see the reflection of the sunset on the periphery

Over our Koi Pond

The Farmers airship often flys over our house, I'd say about 4 or 6 times a year. I think we must be on the flight path to Moffet Field. Today it was over the northeast side of our yard near our koi pond. It was so low I waved just for fun, and I swear it slowed down a little. Maybe they saw me, lol! Next time I'll try to get a picture. Anyway, after a minute they sped up and were quickly off towards the northwest direction. Happy Flying!!

Blimp over San Francisco at sunset on 11.18.10 As a pilot and photographer, I can't wait to get up in the air with you guys!

New Years Day Sighting

New Year's Day at 8:15 a.m., my husband scanned the skies from our living room window, much more interested in seeing the zeppelin and the blimp than watching what they were televising on the screen.

Sailing on a Windless Afternoon

Sailing (actually motoring) between Tiburon and Angel Island on a wind-less afternoon, we spotted Eureka overhead, and I snapped this with my cell phone camera!

No ordinary blimp!

Saw the airship flying over downtown Los Angeles on December 29th, 2010 at about 4:30 in the afternoon.

Realized immediately that this was no ordinary "blimp!"

Not a blimp at all, as it turns out!

This was something really "different!"

Spotted the tail propeller, but missed the side-mounted engines completely!

It appeared really, really long!

The gondola seemed to be quite far forward compared to ordinary "blimps!"

The ship disappeared behind a building and did not re-appear on the other side of the building. It must have turned to the north, and stayed hidden behind that building as it flew away.

During the Morning Commute in LA

I had my second sighting of the Zeppelin NT in late October during my morning commute to LA. I was driving on the westbound 91 freeway near the 605 when I saw the elegant Zeppelin NT flying north, perpendicular to my car's path. My travels took me northbound behind the airship, which breezed past the heavy traffic. I snapped a photo with my phone

While Visiting Sunnyvale, California

We spotted the blimp on Tuesday, Nov. 30, while we were staying at the Wild Palms hotel in Sunnyvale, Calif for an uncle's funeral. I took a cell phone photo. When I got back home to St. Paul, Minn., I researched the blimp and discovered it's home is Sunnyvale and found this blog. Fun to see!

Over our Heads on Halloween

The Eureka flew directly over our heads as my husband and I hiked on the Moffett Bay Trail as it came in for a landing at Moffett Field on Halloween afternoon. How many people can say they've had a zeppelin fly directly over their head?

Halloween in Burlingame

Halloween in our neighborhood is filled with decorated homes, made-up haunted houses, lighted houses, big spiders, ghosts, RIP signs, cob webs and cauldrons... On this Halloween, there was not a witch in the sky, but instead, the Farmers Airship Flying across the moon in the Halloween sky!

Santa Cruz Mountains

This is the second time the Farmers Airship has flown directly over my house, so close I could almost see the people in the cabin! It was around 12:15am Pacific, Sunday, Oct. 31st, I was standing on my driveway,just about to go inside, when it floated over the hillside like a vision! I live in the Santa Cruz Mountains and it is a rural area, so seeing the airship was just so exciting!

Cambria, Over the Ocean

I saw her off Cambria around 1:00 pm over the ocean heading north thinking she will be in time for the World Series.

Redding, California

August 13, 2010:

Saw it flying over the I-5 freeway  right outside of Redding, CA on our way up to Oregon for vacation. Took the picture through the front windshield as we were driving on the freeway.
