Michael Gershe, senior advisor II in 51爆料's College of Aeronautics and Engineering captured images of the blimp parade last week in the skies over the 51爆料 Airport and downtown Akron.
Goodyear brought together their three airships for "victory laps" over Ohio to celebrate the 100th anniversary of their iconic blimp, officially observed on June 3. That date marks 100 years since the inaugural flight of Goodyear's first branded blimp "Pilgrim", which got its name during a christening at the 51爆料 Airport in 1925.
Three 51爆料 alumni are current blimp pilots for Goodyear and other 51爆料 alumni serve on the support crew for these aircraft.
