And now for something completely different, here’s a picture of the Goodyear blimp. I took this photo out the car door window while I was speeding by on the 405 a few months ago.
Technically, this is a “semi-rigid airship,” not a true blimp, but I think even Goodyear has given up fighting about this. If everyone calls it a blimp, then it’s a blimp.
