The Spirit of Goodyear, one of the iconic Goodyear Blimps. This is a list of airships with a current unexpired Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) [1] registration.. In 2021, Reader's Digest said that "consensus is that there are about 25 blimps still in existence and only about half of them are still in use for advertising purposes". [2]
The GZ-20 was introduced as part of a US$4 million expansion program by Goodyear in 1968 that included the construction of a new GZ-19 Florida-based airship (Mayflower N1A), replacement of the California-based GZ-19 with a GZ-20 (Columbia N3A), adding a third airship to the fleet (GZ-20 America N10A) and constructing a new airship base at Spring, Texas as home to the new blimp.
In 1937, K-2 was ordered from Goodyear as part of a contract that also bought the L-1, (Goodyear’s standard advertising and passenger blimp). K-2 was the production prototype for future K-class airship purchases. K-2 flew for the first time at Akron, Ohio on December 6, 1938 [1] and was delivered to the Navy at NAS Lakehurst, New Jersey on ...
With the exceptions of the Italian-built Roma and the Goodyear RS-1, which were both semi-rigid, all Army airships were non-rigid blimps. These airships were used primarily for search and patrol operations in support of coastal fortifications and border patrol. During the 1920s, the Army operated many more blimps than the U.S. Navy. Blimps were ...

A non-rigid airship, commonly called a blimp , is an airship (dirigible) [1] without an internal structural framework or a keel. Unlike semi-rigid and rigid airships (e.g. Zeppelins), blimps rely on the pressure of their lifting gas (usually helium, rather than flammable hydrogen) and the strength of the envelope to maintain their shape. Blimps ...
Another big moment for the Goodyear Blimp came on Jan. 1, 1955. That was when the Enterprise V became the first aerial platform to broadcast on live TV the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena ...
The envelope for the system was completed by subcontractor TCOM LP in Aug. of 2011. The blimp was around 350 feet (110 m) long and 1.4 million cubic feet in volume. [1] It was designed to be able to reach an altitude of 4 miles (6.4 km) and remain at altitude for up to a week. [1] The aircraft's first flight was planned for 15 October 2011. [1]
