    I am afraid you are incorrect, Diamondback. The Goodyear Blimp has returned. Look at this webpage https://www.goodyear.eu/en_gb/consum...ear/blimp.html

    I think you missed the pun... truth in advertising would see 2020 produce a BADyear Blimp.

    I see no smoke over the city center, so the chances are high that it's an Allied airship...

    What year it is, does beg the question. I think that currently, they're all semi-Zeppelins, which that one is not.

    The new blimps have triple fins and a rigid internal framework and are Zeppelin designs, they are still in buisness, our U.S. blimps were built on licences all along, Good Year blimps were developed that way here in my backyard . . . there are some interesting designs used for advertising around here as well, more like our WWI blimps made with balloon nylons . . . super slow, but very cool . . . It always pays off to look up when you hear an engine out here!
