The Goodyear Blimp will return to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh this summer for the first time in six years. Wingfoot Three's participation commemorates the 50th anniversary of a Goodyear Blimp's maiden visit to what has grown into the world's largest airshow.
Goodyear Aviation will also exhibit in booth #489 at the show, which runs from July 26 through Aug. 1.
“We are excited to be returning to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh this year to showcase our products and interact alongside consumers who share our passion for aviation, all while celebrating this milestone anniversary of the Goodyear Blimp. With aviation enthusiasts coming from all over the world, this show, known as the world’s largest airshow, is a great opportunity for Goodyear to share our rich history in aviation,” said David Barnette, Goodyear General Manager, Global Aviation.

Wingfoot Three was christened in 2018 and marks the end of a nearly decade-long shift of Goodyear's world-famous fleet to high-tech semi-rigid airships. Wingfoot Three will be one of the largest aircraft on the field, measuring 246 feet long and 54 feet longer than the Goodyear Blimp America, which first landed at Oshkosh in 1971.
In the following weeks, more details about the blimp's schedule, including air show appearances and pilot autograph sessions, will be released.
