The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company has been a part of the Akron community for 125 years, and its iconic blimp has been flying for over 100.
AKRON, Ohio — The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company has been a part of the Akron community for 125 years! "Akron has always been proud of Goodyear, and Goodyear has returned the favor," said local historian Dave Lieberth.
The latest version of the blimp was in the sky on the company’s anniversary, with Akron native Jerry Hissem at the controls. Even though Jerry’s from here, he never dreamed he’d be piloting the Goodyear blimp. The views provided by the airship are fantastic, as News 5 anchor Rob Powers discovered when he was invited to get on board as part of the celebration.
