Goodyear Blimps

GoodyearBlimps.jpg (21173 bytes)

One blimp is an unusual site in most cities. In Akron, some days you'll see three! The Goodyear Airdock has been home to the company's fleet of blimps since 1929 when it was constructed. At 1,175 feet long, 325 feet wide, 197 feet high and with 364,000 square feet of floor area, the hangar was, for many years, the largest building ever constructed without interior supports.
