who also has a weird liking for airships?

When you see them up close they are massive I could not imagine what the large ones looked like in person back in the early 20th century

When I was maybe 6 or 7 my twin sister and I were fortunate enough to ride on a Goodyear blimp. It was in Texas around 1976. Amazing experience that I will never forget. I still remember the big trim wheel, and the pilot let us spin it and see the blimp pitch up and down.

I remember the 30 yrs back while swimming at Center Lake in Warsaw Indiana one Saturday, a Goodyear blimp appeared and was passing by when it veered and flew directly overhead. As it did so the words "Hello Warsaw from the Goodyear blimp America" flashed along the side. People went crazy yelling and waving, me included! So cool of that Captain to do that!

His comment about how nice it is to feel the wind is one of the reasons I like flying in open cockpit biplanes. 🙂

I live in S FL, and my father was working for WINZ news radio and WCIX channel 6 back in the 1980s. We went for a ride in the GOODYEAR blimp. It was very memorable.

blimps used to scare me as a kid

Co pilot is gorgeous.

Oh wow I’ve always wanted to do this. I remember when I was little and use to see them in my neighborhood & loved seeing the Goodyear & Budweiser Blimps. Listed in my bucket-list.

This is actually really cool!! Very good quality too. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed!

Everyone: Blimp! Airship! Me: Zeppelin 😂

I can remember as a child growing up in northwest Houston back in the late 70's/early eighties and the blimp would buzz our subdivision quite often. You could hear it coming from miles away. I had a friend who's dad knew someone and we got to take a ride around. Lots of fun.

I spent my summers in the shadows of the Goodyear Airdock. always a dream to ride in one. Ive seen them more times than I can count. but wow what an experience

I live nearby Wingfoot, love seeing the blimp every time it goes up :), was interesting trying to spot the different areas nearby from the perspective of the blimp :D

I grew up in Spring Texas where the Goodyear Blimp America was stationed. It was awesome. Had a little terminal.

We have a Goodyear blimp here in Gardena, Calif. I live 6 minutes from there. My house is a long the typical flight path. So, we see her fly over several times a week.

I would love to go for a ride in one😀

This blimp used to fly over my house all the time. I lived about 2 miles from the hangar. It's at wingfoot lake near Akron Ohio. I recognize the shot at 2:10, the building with the green roof on the shore of the lake is the Springfield Ohio fire/police department.

I love his excitement to be on the blimp

I would LOVE to go on one!!!

BF Goodrich: “You know the guys with the blimp? We’re the other guys!”

I took my 4yo out to watch the Goodyear blimp landing a couple years ago. That was a great day. 😀

Nice. First video of Wingfoot Three, a day after it is christened.

This looks like a Fun Experience.

I’ll never forget the time in fourth grade when one flew over my school at recess and all the teachers made us watch it, the camera doesn’t do it justice of how big they actually are

The Zeppelin NT is just an incredible piece of engineering and I really hope to get two tickets around lake Constance (Germany), the place in in the world with the highest number of regular flights in the world, and not so far from my hometown.

Two yrs ago I saw one in LA stationoff the 405 they’re really huge.

0:26 whats your job?... uhm nasa engineer

Just watched hoping to see the bathroom. Huzzah!

THE WINDOWS OPEN ON THIS ONE!!

Seen one today... crazy I haven't seen a good year blimp since middle school maybe even elementary

This ist NOT a blimp! For better understanding: A Blimp is a specific TYPE of airship, not a name. All Blimps are Airships, not all Airships are Blimps. A Blimp is a non-rigid airship. I has no internal structure The Zeppelin NT HAS an internal structure. The Zeppelin NT is an semi-rigit-airship, NOT a Blimp.

People of the Commonwealth do not interfere we are the brotherhood of steel

UHHHHMMM ACKSHUALLY ITS not A BLIMP ITS A semi rigid airship HRMPH

My aunt has one. She has the interior fitted like a van from the seventies.

I used to live on the street right in front of this blimp base, it was always cool to see the blimp flying around.

Looks like a good way to tour over a city. A 1 hour "ride" covering 15 km.

Damn it's so loud in there

How loud was it compared to sitting in an airline?

how's the turbulence?

Clicked for the cute pilot

This remind me of the mummy cartoon flying blimp, from my childhood.

Was it smooth riding? Any turbulence?

Wow, we can open windows

The lady captain is really nice :)

Ahhh, really want to try it!!!!

Do blimps have any back up engine's

In Florida i saw one of this in Orlando it was my first time seeing it

I worked here fresh outta highschool. One of the cooler jobs I had

Cool video!

Lady pilot is gorgeous.

So many questions... how fast do they go... what if there`s a big headwind, how high can they go to name a few

Why is it that massive? Whats inside that stuff?

Why would 40 people not like this video? They probably miss the old Blimps! I miss them too ! But thank God we have these new ships for us to finagle rides on! 😂

Fine pilot 😍

3:04 Can’t help but to think of the movie a view to a kill

I'm jealous. I wanna ride on the Goodyear blimp. :(

Larry Burns "I grew up in an orphanage, and then I got a job at the souvenier stand. Oh, and once I saw a blimp!"

I wish they could bring these things back for commercial service. Even if it were for something like an evening dinner tour around a city,

That’s a very strong blimp, can you watch movies and play games while riding on it?

What city is that in

I scroll to the comments and I couldn't find anyone that asks what does it cost to find one and how might you obtain tickets

Yooo that's cool as hell

와 한번 타보고 싶어요!

I loved to.go on one but I hope there not a storm

Imagine crossing the Atlantic in that!!! It would take days not hours.

Sir what is name of lady capten

This isn't a Blimp. It's a "Zeppelin NT". A true german invention. That's a big difference because it's semi rigid and therefore the engines can be fitted on the hull which means better maneuverability and less noise inside the cabin. So this type of airships can be bigger (they are currently the biggest operating airships in the world) and you need less people to handle them on the ground.

I would live and travel the world in this if I was possible

How do you get a cool job like this?

Looks cool

Is that a Hindenburg built in 2014

Blimps are real!

What kind of qualifications do you need to fly a blimp? A regular pilot's license?

wouldve been funny if a bunch of bugs went into his mouth when he opened it lookin out the window XD

I randomly saw this video and now I'm in love with that Lady Captain. Find me Lady! (I'm broke and I live in other side of the world, come get me with that blimp! :P)

Damn what a beauty 😍

What if it pops

So, a bog-standard bog - except that it has a window. Which might occasionally come in handy.

The WIFO 105.5 Blimp approves.

She is soo cute❤️

That blimp is actually the newest german lz zeppelin

Even though Goodyear still refers to its airships as "Blimps" they aren't blimps at all. The last Goodyear Blimp was retired in 2017. This is a Goodyear Zeppelin because it has a rigid airframe. Cool fact: It was built by the same German company that built the HIndenburg back in the day.

I would like to go for a ride on the co-pilot.

Airship ready

Man I want to ride in that blimp. Looks like fun.

ALGUIEN SABE El Costco POR UN RAITE DE ESTO GRACIAS.

it came by my house yesterday

long haul blimps here by 2023

I'm here after I dreamt of this specific GoodYear blimp. But in my dream, this thing had a long tail and it flew so fast! I remember it crashed near the river that flows through our village, and I did want to go there on my motorbike to see if it crashed as close as I thought it did, but I was reluctant to do it and I just ended up not going. Eventually, I saw on a radar that its remains had quickly been moved away by the Government or whoever. Moral of the story: Don't consume dairy if you're sensitive to it; it makes you have wild dreams. It's very fun though - better than reality. And btw, this is not the first time I dream of this specific GoodYear blimp. I don't even know how I know about them apart from seeing one of them on Grand Theft Auto as a kid way back in 2006. But they didn't have the GoodYear logo on them so idk.

4:20 I see Phyllis!

I wanna go in a blimp

Davey how ya doin?

I'm having an anxiety attack..

Bucket List

Made in Friedrichshafen?

Isn't it a Zeppelin semi-rigid and not a true blimp?

Absolutely wonderful.

So, no steak and wine?

Riding on the Hindenburg
