What It Takes To Fly The $21 Million Goodyear Blimp
We took a ride on the world-famous Goodyear Blimp as it flew above the Daytona International Speedway where it provided aerial coverage for NASCAR in February. Our journey began at the Blimp Base in Pompano Beach, Florida — from there, the Blimp flew 200 miles north to a small airport in New Smyrna, where it would call home for the weekend.
We got to spend about five hours in the Blimp, which was updated in 2014 in collaboration with the Zeppelin company. The new model isn't technically a Blimp, due to the internal structure inside its balloon, or envelope.
This is what it's like to fly on the iconic Goodyear Blimp, which isn't accessible to the public — only the crew and invited guests are allowed to go for a ride.

A Day On The Goodyear Blimp
Video created by Minerva Bloom for the NASFL Museum:
The NASFL Museum was able to accommodate 6 volunteer workers on the Goodyear Blimp Spirit of Innovation on June 16. They all had a great time overlooking the landforms along Pompano, Lighthouse Point, Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton. Pilot Corky Belanger, a second generation Blimp Pilot, was very informative and entertaining. Thanks Donna, Doug and to all the crew at the Pompano Blimp Base for making this such a memorable flight! You guys are the best!
Although it was a hazy and cloudless day because of wildfires on the Everglades, we still got to enjoy the spectacular views. The special thing is that each day the Blimp goes on a flight, it is a unique experience because it depends on the weather. We got several cancellations due to the fire and wind before we were able to embark on this journey. Thank you Donna... it truly must be hard to do the scheduling! We were so grateful to be re-scheduled! Even though it was hazy, it was FANTASTIC!
