Happy to See Eureka Over Castro Valley

When we moved from our apartment in Oakland 6 months ago, one of the things we had to give up was seeing Eureka fly over our home on a regular basis. Well, today while hiking in the hills above our new home in Castro Valley we caught site of our old friend as she headed back to Moffett Field. Owen was delighted to see her again and got a closer look with the binoculars he received for his recent birthday. Now that he is 3, he is now old enough to ride on the airship that he helped dedicate back in 2008.

Seen over Citrus Heights

On Tuesday afternoon Larry was with a customer when my son called and said there was a "blimp" overhead. We ran outside and caught a few shots. We had heard on the radio that the airship was travelling to McClellan airbase, but had not expected to see it in Citrus Heights, which was farther east than it sounded like it was planning to go from the news releases we heard.

It was quite a sight, and reminded me that there used to be a fair amount of them around several decades ago... It was a great experience to see this one, and not one my son will soon forget, as it was so close, too!

McClellan Park

I work at McClellan Park, and the Zeppelin flew right over my building! I've been tracking it all day to be able to go outside in time to see it :)

That was the most fun I have had today!

Just went overhead! came from 99 and crossed right over our building (3rd and S) and the river then went upriver towards McClellan.

Unfortunately, I ran down and saw it as it would not have passed my window. a co-worker came down just then so I borrowed his cell and called up but my other coworker didn't answer. so I ran up to get people and ran down ( I mean ran the whole way) and by the time we were on the street it had turned and was heading north. I saw it coming and I saw it going. would have been cool to have been right under it when it turned but… anyway. that was the most fun I have had today!

One world, One Zeppelin

Yes, I saw it. In Japan, though. I didn't know at that time that US counterpart is also engaging in the enterprise.

Looking up at the Zeppelin NT, I feel that we are living under the same sky. Hooray for the Zeppelin NT!

Keenan, Airship Fan and Zeppelin Boy!

Our 3 year old son, Keenan, is a huge airship fanatic. So when we heard the Eureka was going to be down at Long Beach, there was only one thing to do - go on a Zeppelin hunt!

Here's the successful, stalwart hunter with the mighty airship sleeping in the distance.

Thank you Airship Ventures!
