Our ride on the zeppelin Eureka

April 23, 2012

Here she comes!


 

On approach!
 

Up, up, and away!

Our pilot!


 

Just don't look down and everything will be fine!



Torrey Pines golf course.



The sea lions in Children's Pool in La Jolla.



The La Jolla coastline.



A Southwest jet takes off below us. 



Downtown San Diego.



The Coronado bridge.



Embarking and disembarking from the airship.  A little tricky
since the airship pivots on a 360 degree circle around the front
of the airship based on wind direction.



The cabin holds up to 12 passengers and two crewmembers. 
The water on the ground is ballast weight that was released
since the flight after ours had twelve passengers whereas ours
only had eight.



All in all, a pretty good day!
