“I’m lucky enough to get to fly Eureka, so I know what she can do,” added Airship Ventures Director of Flight Operations Jim Dexter. “I’m excited that on Tuesday, the rest of the world will too.”

Piloted by Dexter, the flight will not only be record breaking, but take in some of the most breathtaking scenery California's Central Valley and Coastline has to offer. Like a leisurely cruise down Highway 1, the flight will depart, weather permitted, at 7 a.m., Tuesday, May 25, with the total flying time estimated at just over nine hours.

Those on the ground can track the airship Zeppelin Eureka at the company’s website as it passes the following major cities on its route from Salinas, Santa Monica, San Luis Obispo, Downtown Los Angeles, Santa Maria, Long Beach, Santa Barbara, Seal Beach, Oxnard, Huntington Beach Ventura, Dana Point, Malibu, and San Diego.

“I will be on board to personally represent all of the Farmers Insurance employees, agents and district managers in marking this aviation milestone,” said Kevin Kelso, Chief Marketing Officer of Farmers Insurance Group, Inc. “All of us at Farmers share in the excitement of this historic trip as well as the unique opportunity to showcase the Farmers logo for 9 hours and more than 400 hundred miles.”
