The daily blimp

When gas prices spiked, people were talking about a commuter blimp from San Francisco to San Jose.  But I think this one which was showing up every afternoon above Shoreline Amphitheatre is actually an Airship Ventures sightseeing blimp going to Moffet field.



Update: There is now a blimp covered in an advertisement for Sergey Brin's wife's "personal genetics" startup 23andMe (https://www.23andme.com).  And the nerds insist that you call it a  "semi-rigid airship", it is technically not a blimp.  The exact model is the Zeppelin NT.
