Driving up and down the 101 I've noticed a blimp floating in the sky with "Airship Ventures" written in big black letters on either side. I've also seen it "parked" at Moffett Field. Cool.
I remember seeing a write up in the Mercury News about six months ago when these guys were just getting off the ground (pun intended). I've checked out their website and the experience looks like a lot of fun...and pricey too for an individual.
The obvious target markets are high tech companies with deep pockets looking for new group outings, well healed Bay Area people looking for a unique experience and tourists to the Bay Area. However, I can't envision these three customer segments having the buying power at this economic time period to fund the $495 per person ticket for a 1 hour flight. Maybe other target markets include businesses looking to advertise...which worked on me for I looked up their name online once I saw the blimp!
I think I will suggest a blimp "adventure tour" for a future work team outing. I'd like to add "flown in a blimp" to my adventure travel "bucket list." However, during these financial times, I'd like someone else to pay for this tour! I don't think one can call me cheap, but call me practical.
Please share with us your experience should you have experienced Airship Ventures!
