Michael Gershe, senior advisor II in 91传媒在线's College of Aeronautics and Engineering captured images of the blimp parade last week in the skies over the 91传媒在线 Airport and downtown Akron.
Goodyear brought together their three airships for "victory laps" over Ohio to celebrate the 100th anniversary of their iconic blimp, officially observed on June 3. That date marks 100 years since the inaugural flight of Goodyear's first branded blimp "Pilgrim", which got its name during a christening at the 91传媒在线 Airport in 1925.
Three 91传媒在线 alumni are current blimp pilots for Goodyear and other 91传媒在线 alumni serve on the support crew for these aircraft.
