The Goodyear Blimp is turning 100 on June 3, 2025, and it's the 70th anniversary of providing aerial event coverage

In 1925, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., in Akron, Ohio, launched the Pilgrim -- the first in a long line of blimps that have become synonymous with hovering over and capturing live sporting events for television.

To celebrate, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is taking its iconic airship on a tour of North America and Europe. It’s also giving fans a chance to ride in the blimp, something only 0.0006 percent of Americans can say they’ve done, according to a statement from the company.
