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!

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

Back on Memorial Day, 2009

As a member of virtualtourist.com, camera is always in hand when looking for photos for my VT pages travel tips. On Memorial Day, May 25, 2009 at 12:45pm, I was standing on the top deck of the cruise ship Carnival Paradise while in the Port of Long Beach enjoying the sights of Long Beach, California before the ship sailed. I looked up and to my amazement was a wondrous sight, an actual Zeppelin flying overhead. I snapped the photo of the airship without even looking at the camera's settings, I was so excited. I got the photo. I also got the bug to one day take my wife on a flight from Long Beach. Each day is a day closer to that day.

Over Little League Game

Your peeps drove over my son's little league game. I happened to have a beefy camera/lens. I took a few shots; they mostly look like this.

Floating Over Me on San Juan Island

As a lover of flight, it was wonderful to see that machine floating over me on San Juan Island today. I had just read about the ship in my AOPA mag and noticed that you could have stick time for X-amount of $$'s. What an experience!!!

Near Mt. Shasta

We spotted the Eureka flying above Interstate 5 near Mt. Shasta, Ca. on August 14th 2010. The ship was a beautiful sight dressed out in it's Farmer's Insurance logo. The near-silent operation of the craft suited the magnificence of the mountain! We followed the ship north from our home in Mt. Shasta City through Weed, Ca. and past the Weed Airport. We last saw it heading northeast in the direction of the Oregon border. We had a lot of fun relaying our "sighting" to friends and family via calls and texts.

Boeing Future of Flight at Paine Field

Graceful and Silent

I work on the 5th floor of the VA Hospital and glancing out my window today saw what I thought was a blimp! I found the details by searching on the web. It was really neat to watch it go out over the water and head north to Paine Field. It was moving right along, but still was graceful and silent. I was at my desk at the perfect time! Sorry I do not have any photos!

Coming up the Columbia River

Got a call from a neighbor who lives a couple miles to the south of us saying that there was a blimp coming down the Columbia River. Got my camera out and took the attached pictures.

Nike Campus in Beaverton

After hearing about a blimp cruising around Oregon this week, I was happy to see it floating directly above the Nike Campus in Beaverton around 11am today (August 18). Very cool!
