South of Holland on Lake Michigan

I live 15 miles south of Holland on Lake Michigan. I was working in the yard when I heard the ship approaching from the North. This was a first for me to see a air ship over the lake. Thursday June 30th, 1:15PM

Awesome Experience

Muskegon, Michigan at the Muskegon Airport.

Not only did we get to see it fly in, we got to ride in it !! What an awesome experience we had.

-- Julie Galey

Welcome Back Any Time

On it's visit to Muskegon, MI. We were honored by the presence of the airship. We hope you had a great stop and welcome back anytime. We have had many calls to the office today from people who saw it and wanted us to know that they visit was appreciated as one of the most exciting things they had ever seen!

Over Veits Landing on Spring Lake

The airship flies over Veits Landing on Spring Lake in Ferrysburg, Mich. It was flying out of the Muskegon County Airport south along the Lake Michigan shoreline to Grand Haven, circling around Spring Lake and Ferrysburg before heading back up north.

Wanting Airship Badly

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!

Birds, Butterflies and Zeppelins!

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

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.

Ann Arbor, MI

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

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

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.

-- Ron Syphrit

Floating Over Our Home, Portage, PA

We saw the ship floating right over our house 389 Plane Road Portage, PA. It was so very close. The kids had a great time watching it.

Hiking in Lorimer Park, PA

The airship is taking its breaks between outings at our local airport. Nice to see at the end of our field. Can't wait to see it fly!

-- Janek Kazimer

Crossing the Delaware River

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

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

I was out watering our garden and saw the airship fly by today 6/3/11. We live in Dover DE. It was awesome!! :)

-- Elizabeth Campbell

ILC Dover

Hi there. I work for ILC Dover, the company who built the airship's envelop. I looked up this evening and saw the zeppelin flying near my home. It was very cool to see knowing I've worked on the airship.

2am Sighting

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!

Orlando Executive Airport

I was in Orlando, FL and saw the ship at the Orlando Executive Airport. Unfortunately I was not able to get closer to it.

-- Noel Mora

Ocala

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.

-- Patricia Lewis

Panama City

At 2:02 PM on Thursday, May 5, 2011 the Farmers Blimp was over Panama City, FL at an altitude of 1,555 feet traveling at 46 knots. Photo was taken from Callaway Bayou with the blimp traveling from West to East. A beautiful sight!!

New Orleans Lakefront

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.

-- Yvonne Lopez

Bon Jovi

I work for Farmers as an APD Zone Training Manager. I took my wife to New Orleans over the weekend for Jazz Fest. During the Bon Jovi performance my wife pointed up into the sky and there was the Farmers Airship. It was very unexpected, very cool to see.

-- Dustin Burns

Lake Charles, LA

It's not everyday you see such a sighting here in Lake charles, la. The airship spent the night here, and then resumed it's flight the next day to New Orleans. It was a windy and cloudy overcast day. The Zeppelin zig zag her way to the air field, at one point hovering in mid air right over on lookers before landing.

-- Elwood Staton

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!

-- Troy Taormina

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.

-- Miguel Urrutia

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
