@@ReelsCW in 1990, my girlfriends Dad was a Vice President of marketing for a big grocery chain in San Francisco. Somehow, he was able to get my gf and I a ride on the Goodyear Blimp. It was crazy, the crew and us passengers were in a cockpit the size of a motor home. We could talk to the pilot from our seats. He flew us over the Oakland Collisium and dipped us down low over it. One of the coolest things I’ve ever done. They gave us signed cards that said we had flown in the blimp.

In the '80s when I was in high school, there was a Goodyear Blimp based right across the freeway from our school. I was on the yearbook staff and we requested a ride to photograph the campus from above. Goodyear was happy to oblige. When it was our turn, they put me in the co-pilot seat. We flew around, I took pictures, and then the pilot asked if I wanted to fly it. This was an older model with pedals for the rudders and a big wheel beside each seat for elevators. I'll never forget that day. For a few minutes, I got to fly the Goodyear blimp.

theres actually thousands of things that are basically blimps but dont classify as one. This Goodyear blimp isnt even a blimp

Wow, the new "Blimps" are a far cry from the old GZ-20's that were in service when I worked for Goodyear Canada Inc. The old versions were only 192 feet long, had hardly any passenger capacity, and were much less tech oriented, but they were fun to fly. As an employee I had the opportunity to fly in them on 3 occasions, and actually took control of the craft for several minutes on one of the flights, and have a certificate of provenance that made me an honorary Blimp Pilot.

I am being honest i liked it.But there was something that made me like it even more, that background music perfectly synced with slow moving plane with relaxing atmosphere.

Zeppelins were used during WW1 to gather intelligence

Was poking around through the cobwebs on my bookshelf last night and pulled a small hardback from one of the dusty layers. Instantly a rush of joy filled my mind. It was Dr. Paul Litchfield's "Why Has America No Rigid Airship?" Few corporations have a sense of vision, or especially a sense of national vision. Perhaps nowadays vision is considered a costly luxury, hardly justifiable. But by the mid 20th century, after people had mostly given up on big rigid airships as a good (transportation industry) idea, Goodyear CEO Dr. Litchfield remained fast to his personal vision. In my mind, his vision is legendary. Thank you so much, Goodyear, for keeping that lighter-than-air idea up and going.

I've seen the Goodyear Blimp many times over the beaches of Cape Cod, and even over Olympic Park just before London 2012. But I honestly learned so many things in this short film that I had no idea about!

She would hop curbs, go off road in our '70 Chevelle. She would only stop when trees, or a fence blocked our passage, or until the muffler was ripped off the car! This happened numerous times throughout our childhood! Good times!

Hello, and Thank you, for such a Great and Informative Video Tour. While on vacation in Florida, in 1958, the general public was allowed to ride on the Goodyear Blimp. I believe then, the cost was around $5.00 to $10.00. The wind was quite gusty, on that day, so flights were cancelled. At least I was able to view the blimp, at a fairly close distance of a few hundred feet! Thanks again.

I remember falling in love with Blimps back in 2003. At the National Museum of the USAF in Ohio, 4 Blimps came to fly together to celebrate 100 years of flight! The four Blimps were the Goodyear blimp, Saturn Blimp, MetLife Blimp, and the Fuji Film blimp. And my love for this particular Goodyear "Airship" in the video began in 2015 when it visited Oshkosh, WI during EAA AirVenture!

Proud to have been part of the Airship Operation for almost 8 years. True professionals from the Ground Crew to the Techs, to the Pilots. (A lot of fun also).

I first seen it in the late 90s when I was a kid... it’s one of those things you’ll never forget

Whoever chose the music for this did a great job. Very on point at all times

Living in Akron, I see them at least once a year. Sometimes they'll have two flying about. You can hear them rumbling above you when you're in the house so odds are, you know it's a blimp. I like to see them best at night when they have lighted pictures & ads on the sides.

In 1978, the Goodyear Blimp was selling rides on it for $15.00! As I was on vacation in Miami, I went to the Blimp base to ride on it! Unfortunately, when I got there & the blimp was right in front of me, I was told that rides were suspended for today because they were shooting a documentary film over the Everglades! Being a lifelong Airship lover, I left downhearted since I was going home the next day & knew that would probably be my only chance to ride on one!

You would have to fly over to Germany. The Zeppelin Company in Friedrichshafen offers rides on their Zeppelins.

god dang this video was so much fun to watch

Great video and great choice in background music

Every once in a while, I will see the Goodyear Blimp land at our local runway. It is a small airport, 2nd longest/largest runway in Illinois, and a perfect place to land the Goodyear Blimp.

beautiful work!

For those of you wondering the proper way to reference the Ice Cube song would be to comment- I suppose the ability to write “Ice Cube’s a Pimp” would be one thing! Thanks and remember that remembering a reference is half of it. You have to still write something humorous using the reference.

Cool video. Grew up on east coast of FL saw the blimp all the time but never knew anything about it.

They brought the Good Year Blimp Wednesday night to Tupelo, Mississippi. They own Cooper Tire which was hit months ago. They brought the blimp to show the appreciation for the hard work that the employees did to try to get back on track. It was amazing watching this in person. After work I drove about 30 minutes just to watch it and be able to record my own videos of it. I knew they came from Florida because I saw the tag on one of the maintenance vehicles.

so basicly it isn't a Blimp any more, but a Zeppelin.
