Airship Ventures is a company that provides the opportunity to take a leisurely trip in a Zeppelin NT over the San Francisco Bay. The only passenger airship operation in the United States, Airship Ventures is based right in the Bay Area at Moffett Field in Mountain View. Their Zeppelin NT, Eureka, is the world’s largest airship. At 246 feet long, Eureka stretches 15 feet longer than a 747 and 50 feet longer that the largest blimp. In fact, it is one of only three Zeppelins operating worldwide. The trip that our publisher, Joel Williams, took was a one-hour sunset Bay cruise from Oakland. Other options available include “flight-seeing tours” of Silicon Valley and Los Angeles. Photo by Joel Williams.
