Airship Ventures Inc. is a private company offering sight-seeing rides (which the company calls "flightseeing") in a 12-passenger Zeppelin NT out of a World War II United States Navy hanger at Moffett Federal Airfield near Mountain View, California.[1][2] Their airship, built by Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH, is as of 2008 one of only three zeppelins in the world. Dedicated and christened Eureka at the 75th anniversary celebration for Moffett Field on November 21, 2008, at 246 feet long it is the largest airship in the world.[3][4] Its flight en-route from Beaumont, Texas, where it was shipped, to the Bay Area was the first zeppelin flight in the United States in 71 years.[5] The company is owned by a husband-wife team, Alexandra and Brian Hall of Los Gatos, California.[6] Alexandra Hall previously ran the Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland, California.[1] Katherine "Kate" Board is the only female airship pilot in the world.[7] Airship Ventures and NASA Ames Research Center are in negotiations for their lease of Airfield and facility use that would allow their program to be based in the NASA Research Park
We had the opportunity to set sail with the Donaldsons for Fleet Week. It was great fun. I've never been that close to the Blue Angels before! The water was crowded and there was quite a bit of security on the water with pretty much every local LE agency represented. Don't miss the second half of the video, as I had a chance to test out the slo motion feature of the Casio and also throw in some photos at the end that I took with my D200. Enjoy!

It was cold and foggy yet beautiful. Warning airplane types we get to the flying after some fun at the Museum of the Bay and of course San Francisco's incredible night life. My last show of the season, a great place to wind up. Looking forward to the ICAS convention in Las Vegas and starting a whole new adventure next year. Be well and blue skies. Thanks for watching.

This is some of the video of the Blue Angels I took this past weekend from the roof of a friends building. Was a cloudy day, but at least we got a full show. Yes - the planes did fly that close to the top of the building!!

Every year, my parents and I come to San Francisco for Fleet Week and watch the Blue Angels perform. This event has become a San Francisco tradition and is always filled with excitement. This year we did something that we've never done before, go both days!!!! We decided to come again for the Sunday show because the Blue Angels part of Saturday's show was canceled from the F****** fog, Other than that, here are some of the photos I took during the shows. The song is called Top Gun Anthem. Enjoy.
