So quiet, I had to use your tracking system!

I usually hear "blimps" coming as they pass over my rancho at the gateway to Edna Valley, San Luis Obispo, many times during the year. This is a super quiet airship and had to use your tracking system.

I work for the school district and had been following the progress all morning. We caught a glimpse before it left the airspace over Arroyo Grande High School.

Missed her in Redondo Beach

I waited all day in Redondo Beach but the ship went inland. :(

The best glimps I got was about 40 mi away.

I always read "signonsandiego.com" and of course ALWAYS LA TIMES. That's how I found out about it.

From my Front Yard

Tracked the flight on the map on internet and waited out in my front yard for Eureka. Finally it passed by about 12:50 p.m. I took the photo from my front yard. Fantastic airship!!! And a beautiful sight from just out my front door.

Watching the airship fly overhead never gets old

It's good to see the Eureka again.

I caught the Eureka soaring over San Francisco on Sunday. Watching the airship fly overhead never gets old.

Over Santa Cruz

My kids and I watched you fly over our house as you were flying back to the Bay Area from Santa Cruz the other day.

The Zeppelin looked beautiful and my kids were amazed! The Farmers Insurance logo is great marketing!

US Golf Little League Opening Day 2010


On behalf of our entire organization at the local and National level, I would like to express our warmest appreciation to Airship Ventures for helping make the USGLL's 2010 Opening Day a great success!

The moment "Eureka" appeared in the skies above the event, directly over the USGLL logo the oooh's and aaah's could be heard throughout the golf course.

Each and every kid as well as the parents and spectators truly felt being part of something very special.

My hat is off to you and the crew at Airship Ventures for helping make our 2010 Season kick off with a "REALLY BIG" showing.


-- Kevin Flanagan, President, USGLL

Sitting in my 3rd floor office at the County of Sacramento's Administrative Center

I was sitting in my 3rd floor office at the County of Sacramento's Administrative Center when I looked out the window and noticed this zeppelin floating past. I see a lot of planes from Sacramento International but this is the first zeppelin I've seen from my window here. I called all the staff over to get a look - lots of 'oohs' and 'ahhs'. I figured I should get a photo so I pulled out my camera and took the attached picture.
