Nice shots, Bill. That portable mast is kind of cool.

Did you know ahead of time that they were landing there or did you head up there after they passed TIA?

When they came thru on their original trip to San Francisco they stopped at Marana. So today I took a chance they would stop at the same place. When I got there the mast people hadn't arrived. They got there when the airship first passed over Tucson. It flew around the airport for a little while then back over Tucson for about an hour before it came back to moor. If I had any advance confirmation I would have posted it.

A fleet of support vehicles and a truck with a portable mast accompany Eureka on its travels.

Eureka spent Saturday moored to its portable mast.
