Goodyear Blimp Base Airport

Goodyear is known for keeping your vehicles grounded with their superior quality tires. It's ironic that they're probably known more for their fleet of helium-packed airships. The Gardena hangar has their West Coast fleet and is one of three bases, the other two being in Ohio and Florida. To see Goodyear's trademark blimps you must email them through the website. To ride a blimp is even more difficult - these coveted trips are given by invitation only and a mere handful are picked each year from hundreds of requests sent in by blimp aficionados.
