thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: I think the N-numbers of the Goodyear blimps are notable.  They're all VERY short.  N1A and N2A and N3A are all Goodyear Blimps (although I don't know which one is which).  N4A is also a blimp, but it isn't owned by Goodyear.  --Mdwyer 00:08, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Look!  The Goodyear Blimp!" 

message: The first line mentions The Pilgrim as Goodyear's first blimp.  But checkout the official Goodyear site. The Pilgrim had a rigid frame. Further down the page it suggests that the Pilgrim would have had an inner gas bag, independent of the outer skin. That would mean that, technically, it was not a blimp. Even if the page has got it wrong about inner gasbags, would the use of a rigid internal frame, but inflated outer skin, mean that the airship is classified as rigid or non-rigid? Does anybody know the answers? And what about the other Goodyear "blimps"? -- Steelpillow 11:46, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Was '''The Pilgrim''' a blimp? 

message: Err... is there some kind of feud between Opa-Locka and Pompano Beach? One anonymous user, from IP 216.106.178.161, keeps putting the Florida blimp in Opa-Locka, such as here: .
A different anonymous user, from IP 66.240.24.39, wants to see it listed in Pompano Beach, such as here: 
Seems clear to me that the Florida base moved from Watson Island to Opa-Locka and then to Pompano Beach, but if there was a different sequence, please tell us.
And 216.106.178.161 has also removed some info on previous crashed blimps that seemed kinda useful to me: 
Can I suggest you both give the rest of us a bit more info on what you're trying to do? If you think some of this info is in the wrong section (which I can believe is the case) please move it elsewhere in the article. If you think it's wrong or not appropriate, delete or correct it, but put a comment on the talk page (here).
Also, I'm sure people would be a lot keener to let your edits stand if you register for an account and log in when you make your edits. As things are, I'm tempted to revert a couple of these changes myself. Thanks. Rupert Clayton 23:13, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  What's happening to Florida? 

message: In regard to the following section:
"It is commonly know among SMART pilots and Ham Radio Operators in South Florida, that Pilot Thomas was NOT to blame and he was made the "scapegoat" of both the NTSB and Goodyear. When Pilot Thomas saw questionable weather approaching, he did radio the Blimp Base asking for weather information and updates. He was advised "all clear" and his trust in those on the ground at the Base was misplaced and he was made to pay for this with his career. In this crash, Pilot Thomas, put all his skills to use making sure no one was injured and that the least amount of damage was done to private and public property. Pilot Thomas is a profession and should be fully re-accredited.[4]"
Regardless of the truth or error in this statement, it is not encyclopedic in nature.  Statements like "his trust was misplaced", "SMART pilots", etc., are not presented in the spirit of Wikipedia.

message: The section "Fleet" says there are three blimps, but then goes on to say, "Three of the four craft are outfitted with LED sign technology Goodyear calls "Eaglevision."

thread_title:  HOW MANY blimps? 

message: This text MUST be cleared of this [nonsense]. It states:
quantum singularity engine to generate vertical translocation. The QSE operates by first forming an aspatial cocoon around the blimp, and then by collapsing the cocoon to a quantum singularity of zero dimension.
it is simply lighter than air, this is a hoax!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.59.181.250 (talk) 17:52, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: In Houston, in the mid-80's, they definitely took passengers because my then 7 year old son, his aunt and I were three of them, and we were not corporate guests of the company or members of the press. There was a long waiting list and short notice of availability, and if you couldn't make it they went on to the next person. This was in Spring, Texas, just north of Houston, so it's possible there were different rules for different airfields. They operated there from 1969 to 1992.
It looks to me like anyone may still apply for a ride, but the opportunities for rides for the general public are not great. Both these facts would seem to contradict the lead sentence for this section, "The only passengers that Goodyear will allow on the blimps are corporate guests of the company and members of the press; it has been Goodyear's long-standing policy that no public rides are offered," which doesn't appear to have a reference. But I hate to change it based on my limited understanding of their policies.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? ubiquity (talk) 20:10, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Passenger policy 

message: D-LZFN was the 2nd production Zeppelin NT (and the 2nd to bear that registration). It was put into service in Goodyear livery for use in Europe a few years ago, though it is not owned by Goodyear. That means there are currently 4 Goodyear Zeppelins. The article (as is so often the case) focuses only on the airships in the US. I think we should add D-LZFN. Thoughts? Dcs002 (talk) 06:48, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
