There are two Zeppelin Airships currently flying today in the world, both of which you can purchase a ticket to take a tour on. One in Friedrichshafen, Germany, home of the Zeppelin company. And another, The Farmers Airship, is based at Moffett Field, near San Francisco, in California and is owned and operated by Airship Ventures.
