Aloft in the Airship, Our New Zeppelin Neighbor
If you happened to look! Up in the sky! Last weekend! You might have seen a big blimp-like airship drifting over the Golden Gate Bridge around noon on Saturday.
Only, it wasn’t a blimp — it was a rigid-framed dirigible, and a genuine Zeppelin at that. Owned and operated by a local startup called Airship Ventures, the Zeppelin NT will be based at Moffett Field, and it should become a familiar sight in the skies over the Bay Area as the company begins carrying passengers on sightseeing flights.
I went aboard the Zeppelin yesterday for a quick demonstration flight, and it was good clean fun. Here’s my flight report, and here’s a link to lots more photos. Wheeeeee!
