New Goodyear Blimp Named

Its official, Goodyear’s newest blimp will be called “Spirit of Innovation.” And Goodyear chairman and CEO Bob Keegan reportedly said he could not have been more pleased with the name that Matthew Harrelson (a teacher from Ohio) suggested. “Innovation has been a critical part of our evolution as a company, from innovation of our new product offerings to innovation in everything we do,” Keegan told an audience of several thousand people at the company’s airship base southeast of Akron. “The fact that the American public agreed with their votes is further proof that innovation is becoming synonymous with Goodyear.”
