Take a virtual tour of Goodyear's Blimp hangar at Wingfoot Lake in Akron, Ohio, or request a visit to one of the three airship bases located across the country in: Akron, Ohio; Pompano Beach, Florida; and Carson, California.

Where are the blimps housed?

The Wingfoot Lake base in Suffield, Ohio is near Akron, Ohio, home to the world headquarters for The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. Goodyear has operated a Blimp base in Pompano Beach, Florida, since 1979.

Why are there only 25 blimps in the world?

The main reason you never see airships in the sky anymore is because of the huge costs it takes to build and run them. They're very expensive to build and very expensive to fly. Airships require a large amount of helium, which can cost up to $100,000 for one trip, according to Wilnechenko.
