Goodyear to reveal blimp name

June 16, 2006

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. will name its newest blimp on June 21.

The christening ceremony will be held at Goodyear's airdock in Suffield Township, Ohio, near Akron.

"The launch of this airship marks the culmination of Goodyear's 'Name the Blimp' contest, the first time in the 81-year history of Goodyear's world famous airship program that the public was given the opportunity to help select the name of one of the company's iconic blimps," say Goodyear officials.
