I haven't heard or read any mention of the GoodYear Blimp being at Oshkosh this year. Is that true?

I actually heard that the Goodyear Blimp will be back at Airventure. :)
You'll be hearing more about that very soon. Sometimes things take a little more time.
I don't know what the excitement is about. Team Goodyear has the worst aerobatic routine ever.

Just poking fun Goodyear, I love the blimp, and miss seeing it around Houston - Airship America used to be based here and we really enjoyed seeing it more often.
Looks like you can't buy a ride. I thought in the past you could buy tickets to ride on the blimp.

I'm not sure that Goodyear has ever just sold tickets outright, though I use the term "ever" pretty loosely, given their long history. I know they've made a point on their website for quite some time that you can't buy a ride, that they're available by invitation only.Quote:
