Zeppelin over San Francisco - 12-30-2009, 05:18 PM


"The 'Eureka' is one of a new breed of lighter than air ships manufactured by the Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH, and operated by Airship Ventures. Based out of Moffett Field (in Mountain View, CA), the Eureka offers sight-seeing rides of the Bay Area and Monterey. Riding on the Eureka, and becoming a Zep head was truly a remarkable, and unforgettable experience! "

John this thread was discussed a couple weeks ago, a ride of about an hour is something like $400 and the one that is 90 minutes is well over $500 and they plan to add one to NY City in 2010, they also have a few in europe.

I can't recall a group of images that I've enjoyed more! Excellent work, IMO. There's also a bit of nostalgia involved, as I'm a Northern California native, and this is all familiar to me, although from a different perspective. Since I've lived here in the desert for over 30 years, I haven't kept up to snuff on the changes that take place in that area over such a time span.
