This eventually led to the creation of one of Americas most enduring corporate icons the Goodyear Blimp. Capitalizing on that momentum and looking for unique ways to expand beyond tires Goodyear entered into the business of lighter-than-air balloons and aircraft. The blimp was used mainly for advertising and capturing aerial views of live sporting events on Eaglevision. This allows the aircraft to display bright multi-colored animated words and images. While Goodyear was in the airship business before the Pilgrim was built in 1925 it is considered the first public relations blimp for the Company.
