I saw it, I saw it!

I saw it, I saw it!
Actually, my 11-year old son saw it and told me it was out there, roughly around 101 at Redwood City. I live in San Carlos and grabbed the big birding lens to get pictures. It's really cool!

What are those orange things I can see inside the gondola? [People in red shirts!]

Do you even call it a gondola these days? [Sure do!]

Driving from San Jose

Hiya!! I was driving from San Jose yesterday Nov 6th on HWY101 when I saw you flying toward Moffett Field - I had my camera in the back so I pulled to the side of the road and began taking pixs... as the zeppelin overflew my car!!!

Quick, take a picture!
(Thanks for this one Wayne)

Up to date

We're now up to date on posting all the sightings of the airship on the sightings blog. We'll be modifying things slightly to enable our passengers to send in their favorite photos from the airship as well as to enable cool pictures that people send us from the ground. There are many photos already on flickr and picasa and a few movies on youtube.

Hangar Bound

By now the airship had finished it's trip across the US. I got these pictures as it makes it's first trip across the airfield to it's new home seen in the background. These were taken from the Fire Station at Moffett Field

DC-3 and Golden Gate arrival

While walking on a path along the cliffs of San Francisco's Presidio, we first saw the DC-3 flying overhead followed by the Zeppelin fly over the Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco's fire boat was even there to help celebrate the moment by spraying the full fan of hoses while the Zeppelin flew over.

SF Sightings coming!

Hello readers
I have about 30+ sightings to upload and will get to them shortly, definitely before we're flying again at the end of the week (weather permitting)

[Update. I uploaded them all, and as they all pre date this post, they are BELOW here!]

I-10 sighting

Greetings and salutaions,
I want to commend you in your venture!! I am very excited!! I have been an airship fan all my life...even as a small girl, when I saw the footage of such marvels and I even have saved the footage of the report of the Hindenburg disaster. I have always thought that that incident should never have quelled the quest to make these creatures the rulers of the skies. I live in Brenda AZ now...and this past thursday, I saw your airship passing by as it flew over I-10 and was very excited by it as I just knew, even at that distance, that I was seeing something different. There was no peculiar sound like that of the blimps. I took one photo of it but at the 3 mile distance, it showed up fairly small...tho, I can assure you that I will always treasure that photo, taken as I witnessed that historical moment in my life. Thank you for this momentous occasion on an otherwise doldrum day, and I wish you all the best in your new adveture as you lead the way for the rest of the world!! Bon Voyage!!

Beauty

A volumuous beauty. It seemed quicker than a blimp and might have been given the larger size but similar scale movement. Immediately noticed the fins at the back and searched for news at the Aeros site and Ohio Airships. (As an engineer and former private pilot, I hopeful of the prospects for zepplins to carry freight and their potential as "green" transportation if you can get around the weather issues).

Twin Peaks

I took this picture from the Twin Peaks, across San Francisco. Airship was floating over the Bay Bridge. Isn't it cute?

pilot lesson

Saw your airship at Marana AZ airport. Flew over your airship at the Marana Airport during my pilot lesson in a Cessna 172. Very fun

Crissy Field

I saw it from a point between Crissy field and Ft Point. I expected your airship to be a bit late but it arrived on time and I was still snapping pictures around the area when the airship appeared!

Flares

I know you probably aren't posting anymore sighting photos, but I thought this one was interesting. The US Coast Guard was conduction signal flare training on Yerba Buena Island when the Zeppelin passed overhead.

Baker Beach

While at Baker Beach, the airship cruised overhead late in the afternoon and continued over the Golden Gate Bridge. I happened to have my camera so I took this photograph.

I saw you coming over the SF Marina

On time

And once more the weather was picture perfect to complete the transfer flight. On time like a Japanese Shinkansen train did the Zeppelin cross the Golden Gate (and I later read on the blog that you were hiding around the corner, hah, you were cheating). A couple of fans were waiting there to take photographs. Then I got back on the road to go to Moffett Field. I was glad they let me in with my foreign ID so that I could witness the arrival of the Zeppelin at its new home base. Many people were there to watch the historic moment. Congratulations to the whole team, you did a great job!

Up ship! Christian.

Coit Tower

I saw the ship from an area around Koit Tower when it was flying over the Golden Gate Bridge. It's huge!

Pirouette

After my son's ice skating lesson we raced from downtown to the beach at Hyde St. Pier. We arrived in time to see the airship do a graceful pirouette and then cruise past.
