As part of Goodyear's celebration of the 100th anniversary of its iconic blimps, the company's Wingfoot One, wearing a retro color scheme, visited Kent State's Aeronautics & Engineering Expo on Sept. 6.
The annual expo offers an opportunity to view unique visiting aircraft and learn about the airport and learn about the programs offered by Kent State's College of Aeronautics and Engineering.
100 years ago, Goodyear's first blimp was christened on the field where the Kent State University Airport now stands.
Special thanks to Michael Gershe, senior advisor II in Kent State's College of Aeronautics and Engineering for capturing these spectacular photos!
