Oshkosh Visitors Have A Chance To Win A Ride In The Goodyear Blimp

Five Winners Will Be Chosen For July 30th Flight

Five lucky attendees at EAA AirVenture 2010 will be taken for a ride of a lifetime in the "Spirit of Goodyear" blimp as winners in the "I Wanna Blimp Ride" Sweepstakes. The five sweepstakes winners will take to the skies over the AirVenture grounds and northeast Wisconsin for a one-hour ride aboard the "Spirit of Goodyear" beginning at 1615 on Friday, July 30, conditions permitting.

"We are happy that the world-famous Goodyear Blimp will again be part of the festivities at Oshkosh!" said Eric Varndell, Global Marketing Manager for Goodyear Aviation tires. "It's a dream of many pilots and aviation enthusiasts to have this unique aviation experience, and we are excited to once again provide the opportunity to fly 'low and slow' in the Goodyear blimp for a few lucky AirVenture attendees."

The "Spirit of Goodyear," which will arrive on Tuesday, July 27 and depart on Monday, August 2, will be flying regularly during the festivities. In addition, it will be moored near the EAA AirVenture Museum's Pioneer Airport for up-close viewing at other times, giving visitors a unique view of an aircraft that is commonly seen only from afar.
