Goodyear Blimps 4 August 2018

Post by acw367 » Sat Aug 18, 2018 6:16 pm

Each year the NFL National Football League enshrine former great players into the Hall of Fame based in Canton in mid Ohio. The event is well supported by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company who are based at Akron, 15 miles away. This year they sent two of their Zeppelin NT LZ N07-101 'blimps' to the Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony and parade, Wingfoot One & Wingfoot Two. It is very rare to have two blimps at the same Ohio base as both have subsequently deployed to their autumn/winter operating locations in California and Florida respectively.

Very interesting to see two together like that. Wish we had more flying regularly in the UK.
