How do I find out about gift certificates and discounts? Any information would be appreciated! http://www.californiabeautiful.com/san-francisco-california-tourism/airship-venture-zeppelin-san-francisco-area-california.html/comment-page-1/#comment-2231 Gary Avery Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:10:25 +0000 http://www.californiabeautiful.com/san-francisco-california-tourism/airship-venture-zeppelin-san-francisco-area-california.html#comment-2231 I wanted to fly over London on the Zeppelin last year, but poor weather conditions resulted in cancellations. Since I was a lad. It had always been an intention of mine to fly on an Airship after constantly watching the Goodyear Blimp flying over my house in those hot summers of the 70's. Well, last month, my dream came true. I was in San Francisco and had the chance to fly. I must say that It was well worth the 30 year wait. A fantastic experience, flying in the beautiful blue sky over San Francisco Bay. I would have liked to have flown over Tower Bridge, but the Golden Gate Bridge and surrounding scenery is breathtaking. I would like to thank Airship Ventures for a truely unforgetable flight.

At $500. a head, it will be a while before I get aboard it, but you never know. The Hindenburg, by the way, was not the last airship to be seen over the US: The US navy operated several airships, all of which met untimely ends, albeit without the flames of the Hindenburg. One big reason this airship is here, is the giant airship hangers at Moffet Field, where it is berthed; hangars built for those very navy airships. http://www.californiabeautiful.com/san-francisco-california-tourism/airship-venture-zeppelin-san-francisco-area-california.html/comment-page-1/#comment-410 Bill Clark Sun, 07 Dec 2008 20:06:58 +0000 http://www.californiabeautiful.com/san-francisco-california-tourism/airship-venture-zeppelin-san-francisco-area-california.html#comment-410 I had the real pleasure of flying in this airship over London earlier this year. After offering "flightseeing trips" for only six weeks in the UK it was shipped to the USA via Rotterdam. Our flight was up the River Thames and we flew over The Dome, Greenwich, the Thames Barrier,Tower Bridge,The Tower Of London,The London Eye, Westminster Abbey, The Houses Of Parliament and many other landmarks of London. The flight was very smooth and once up to 1000 feet we were able to walk around the cabin and take photo's through open windows, so no glass to distort the pictures. I feel very privileged to now have remarkable photo's of London, taken by me from this Zeppelin Airship, to remember a very special day. I envy all of you who now have the chance to see San Francisco from this remarkable airship, an experience you wont forget. http://www.californiabeautiful.com/san-francisco-california-tourism/airship-venture-zeppelin-san-francisco-area-california.html/comment-page-1/#comment-389 Editor Tue, 04 Nov 2008 01:20:02 +0000 http://www.californiabeautiful.com/san-francisco-california-tourism/airship-venture-zeppelin-san-francisco-area-california.html#comment-389 I have forwarded your email on to the appropriate people and you should be hearing from them very soon.
