KVOA: Goodyear blimp stops in Marana

Goodyear's Wingfoot 2 airship was in Marana earlier this week, part of its journey from Ohio to California. News 4 KVOA came out to the Marana Regional Airport and did a feature on the aircraft including a look inside the gondola and information on how they keep it safe and properly inflated.

Since the blimp is rarely deflated, there is someone on board 24/7 to handle the controls when a gust of wind or change in temperature tries to lift the blimp off the ground.

The new gondola on the Wingfoot Two can accommodate 12 passengers and two crew members. And yes, there is a bathroom on board.
