We took a ride on the world-famous Goodyear Blimp as it flew above the Daytona International Speedway where it provided aerial coverage for NASCAR in February. Our journey began at the Blimp Base in Pompano Beach, Florida — from there, the Blimp flew 200 miles north to a small airport in New Smyrna, where it would call home for the weekend.
We got to spend about five hours in the Blimp, which was updated in 2014 in collaboration with the Zeppelin company. The new model isn’t technically a Blimp, due to the internal structure inside its balloon, or envelope.
This is what it’s like to fly on the iconic Goodyear Blimp, which isn’t accessible to the public — only the crew and invited guests are allowed to go for a ride.

This gives me so much anxiety
I sure hope no electricity goes near it
Such a goofy thing but I’ll never forget seeing one at a 4th of July parade. Just kinda engraved in my memories.
It's fun to have a job like that
Me on the other hand here flying around a blimp in GTA 5 on my own in Los Santos 🎡
"Everyone knows the good year blimp"….No.. or i wouldn't be here wondering 'what the hell is the good year blimp? do they like, only fly it once a year on good year day?'…
I really wish we could travel like that once again. That was always my favorite part in the movie Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. People just hanging out at a dinner table enjoying the view and watching Nazi's getting punched. A dinner and a show lol.
Daveeeeyyyy how ya doin?

It’s in Oshawa and Whitby Ontario right now

Good year blimp was always in Akron Ohio where the HQ is but know things change but the blimp is a big part of good year.
I don't believe it cost 21 million,🐂💩
Imagine a crewman's shit landing on you 😭😭
What I still don't understand is why this aircraft had so little success. If I had had enough capital, I would have marketed and used it for worldwide safaris. Too bad!
No pun intended…..well yeah, $21M ….for a gas bag. That's inflation……..that's inflation. Must be a government project
Ahh I remember the good old days when I was 5 years old and I would shoot at them with a bb gun every time they flew over my house
