The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is launching a new airship--otherwise known as a blimp--in the spring of 2006, to be used in its Pompano Beach, Florida operation. The new airship has been in
production for the past two years. Goodyear's two other U.S.-based airships--the Spirit of Goodyear, located near Akron, and the Carson, California-based Spirit of America--were recently in New York
City to support the company's meeting with financial analysts and investors.
