100 years of the Goodyear Blimp

Mark the date on your calendar – on 3 June 2025, the Goodyear Blimp will officially celebrate 100 years in the skies. On that day a century earlier a craft known as Pilgrim first took to the air. This product of Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation, a joint venture between the tyre maker and Luftschiffbau Zeppelin, was Goodyear’s first civil airship. Fans can mark the centenary in true American style by “donning the newest line of blimp merchandise” and also stay up to date on the latest celebratory activities by following the Goodyear Blimp on social media and visiting Goodyearblimp.com.
