What It Takes To Fly The $21 Million Goodyear Blimp

Do you think i have seen a blimp ?
It was a sphere around 5 meters and no cord or any moving part on it.

Just a smooth and clean sphere going horizontal and around 300 meter above the ground....

I saw a goodyear blimp 3 times

Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏 Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. Thank you for all your lovely flights that we got to watch as kids in Colorado. My grandfather worked for Goodyear and God took good care of us then and now. I’m grateful. Amen 🙏 Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do.

if it goes down does it say good year down I repeat good year down

I want to ask, does that include aircraft or airship?

Actually this one isn't a "Blimp" - its a Zeppelin NT (New Technology). A Blimp doesn't have the internal rigid framework that a Zeppelin (like the Hindenburg) had. That's why they are also called dirigibles and the Airships of the US Navy in the 30s (USS Shenandoah, USS Los Angeles, USS Akron, USS Macon) all had the designator ZR (Zeppelin Rigid). The Navy Blimps of WW II and the Goodyear Blimps up to the 70s didn't have the framework. In the 1990s the Zeppelin Company started to build the Zeppelin NTs (with a smaller internal Framework) again at the original site of the original Zeppelins in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance in southern Germany. You can identify the Blimps from the Zeppelin easily: The Blimp has 4 fins in the back (like the old Zeppelins) whereas the Zeppelin NT has 3.

21 million. Cheap. I'm going to buy one at ONCE! I shall take it to explore the wreck of the Titanic. Filled with heavy water.

I saw that Goodyear blimp

Blimps make our world way more fascinating. They could reduce carbon emissions in the air causing less air pollution. I would love to see them make a MAJOR comeback.

I have photos of the blimp flying over my town today. I was really surprised to see it when I did.

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.

New Smyrna is the shark attack capital of the world

Probably the greatest marketing scheme of all time 😂

They are the greatest. If we could manufacture Helium we would actually have that reality. Unfortunately Helium can't be made, is expensive to mine and we're actually running out. Don't buy helium balloons if you love blimps or science . . . they are a waste of a precious resource.

Now, don't let Aussie man who plays certain video game faster than average people fly this.

1500 feet in the air and you can still hear those nascar racecars crystal clear.

Just seen a blimp for the first time in my life I had to come get a closer look

Why not "Goodyear Zeppelin" then?

Goodyear zEpPeLiN

The PGA is in my town this week and I thought this was a damn UFO when I fist saw it 😂

Daveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

How you doin’

Madan gowri fansy❤

I wish that blimps were transportation vehicles again 😢

How have I never known this was a thing until now?

So the Goodyear blimp before 2014 didn’t have a bathroom? What did they do if they had to go? Just pee/poop out a window?

Lol I just seen a good year blimp 3 mins ago

when ever im watching the rookie and they call for a airship this is what i picture coming to help lol

skyball

Hitler would be proud. No wonder there's a shortage of helium

Well good thing they learned from the hindenburg not to fill it with hydrogen

How is the footage from this thing different from what you would get from a drone 🤔

Hindenburg

"Everyone likes to see a blimp"
The Hindenburg disaster survivors looking down from heaven: 😶

“Hey there, bilmpy boy”
Homer Simpson sings about winning a blimp ride ticket

In late 50’s 60’s Goodyear Blimp would moor at Russell Field in south Ft Worth Tx at time for state fair special football games and events different times of year it was fantastic walk out front door across Hwy 35W over large hill bigger than life

Imagine building such a gigantic shit only to accommodate 12 people.

Zeppelin NT (New Technology). Zeppelin-Luftschiffteknik (ZLT) of Friedrichshaffen, GmbH. Internal triangular-trussed framework. 246' envelope. The Los Angeles (Carson, CA) Base (64CL/Formerly 7L0) which opened in 1968, now has an inflatable hanger for it. Although the technology has advanced at the turn of the century, the romance and phenomenon of aerostatic (LTA/Lighter-Than-Air) aeronautics lives on........

It’s oddly majestic how it just gracefully floats through the sky

Very fascinating

Leaded fuel? No wonder flat earthers exist.

Blimps don't fly, they float.

Don't tell china about this

Wow. Piloting that craft would be a dream come true. Just WOW.

What a dream job!

How heavy can a blimp lift? Mmmm mhm…. How heavy is a 1700s naval brig?

Who flew that in 2020?
