You all seemed to like the photos from our ride in a zeppelin last June so much, that we leapt at the chance to send The Lippke View out for a second ride!

The zeppelin – named Eureka – is owned and operated by Airship Ventures, and offered rides to commercial passengers for the past week before leaving town this morning.  The company says that the ship will return to Long Beach in January. Eureka is one of only three zeppelins in the world and the only one to offer commercial sight-seeing flights.

It’s a chance to see the city in an incredibly unique way; a 360-degree view of all that Long Beach has to offer, taking off among the C-17’s and the JetBlue’s at the Long Beach Airport and hovering quietly above the coastline, the breakwater, the Port of Long Beach. It’s a serene trip through the pockets of our city, and we hope you enjoy the view.
