Lighter-than-air enthusiasts share their fond memories and the fascinating history of Akron's unofficial mascot of the skies, the blimp. You'll meet the people who populate the blimp's history. Over the years, the blimp has assumed many roles. Its gig in the transportation industry was brought to an end by more efficient means of moving products. During World War II, the blimp served military duty in surveillance. Today, the blimp is primarily a promotional vehicle and the unofficial mascot of Akron's skies.
