From 2008 until 2012 Airship Ventures operated the Zeppelin Eureka in the Bay Area. The windows in the passenger compartment could be opened, and the speed was slow, so it was possible to get some great photographs. Shown is the downtown area, and the bridge in the upper left is the start of the Bay Bridge.
