A celebration of the past, present and future of a symbol that has united generations under the same sky.

Guatemala, September 2025 – As part of the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the iconic Goodyear airship, the company is unveiling a revamped look for the Wingfoot One , inspired by the historic “ Pilgrim ,” the brand’s first model, which began its flights in 1925. This transformation not only pays tribute to a century of aeronautical innovation but also excites fans around the world with a perfect blend of nostalgia and cutting-edge technology.

 

With this transformation of the Wingfoot One, Goodyear surprises the world by highlighting its elegant retro aesthetic. The traditional blue and yellow colors give way to a sophisticated black and silver combination, while the vintage logo and the iconic blue and yellow flag, present on the first models, return to evoke the golden age of light aviation.

 

Measuring approximately 75 meters in length, with a capacity for 14 people (including two pilots) and a speed of up to 113 km/h, today's airships are equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Innovations include HD cameras for live broadcasts, LED screens for advertising messages, and pivoting motors that allow for precise maneuvers, even hovering like a helicopter.

 

“Reviving the look of the brand’s first blimp is a special tribute to our centennial. The vintage design celebrates the rich history of the Goodyear Blimp and is generating excitement among our fans,” said Laura Duda, Senior Vice President and Chief Communications Officer at Goodyear.

 

With this new look, the company evokes nostalgia and reinforces the airship's century-long history, sparking conversations about this important milestone. As for Goodyear's other two airships, Wingfoot Two and Wingfoot Three , they retain their current design.

 

The Goodyear Blimp has left a deep mark on pop culture: it has appeared in films like The Beatles' Help!, video games, music videos, episodes of The Simpsons , and global events such as the Olympic Games and the Academy Awards. Today, with its new look, it's ready to continue making history in style.
