This week, Goodyear celebrates the 100th anniversary of its first blimp, "Pilgrim", launched in 1925. From early explorations in aeronautics to becoming an advertising staple, Goodyear airships have captivated generations. The company's journey began with the establishment of an Aeronautics Department in 1910 and evolved into significant contributions during World War II. Blimps have transformed with cutting-edge technology, maintaining their role in major sporting events while showcasing the brand. Today, four Goodyear blimps continue to soar, blending nostalgia with marketing prowess.
