Last chance to Fly the Goodyear Blimp
For the world’s leading tire manufacturer, the blimp program is ultimately a marketing expense. Today, its fleet is comprised of just three blimps. Plans are in the works to replace them with Zeppelin NT airships, which will begin flying in January 2014. (alaingayot.com) Más...

Sacrilege! I was able to get a flight on a Goodyear blimp about 1970 when I was a student at the University of Texas at Austin. It was the neatest experience, more like sailing than flying.
I too got to ride one on an occassion... Was an interesting ride.. Made more noise than I expected, but it was fun...
I had a chance to ride on the Goodyear blimp when I lived in Atlanta. It was a terrific experience and was so quite. We flew around the city so quietly for about 45 minutes. All my co-workers were very jealous. Can't really say it was fun (I much prefer aerobatics in a small plane), but it was awe inspiring!
