The Goodyear blimps — there are three of them in the country — are "aerial ambassadors" for the Goodyear tire company. Under cover of darkness late Wednesday night, the Goodyear blimp landed at Springfield's Downtown Airport on East Division Street, connecting its nose to a tall portable mast that travels ahead of the airship as it flies across the country.

It took off before noon today, and my kids spotted it as it flew over our house. Did you see it in the air? Note: How much helium does it take to float a Goodyear blimp? Chief pilot Michael Dougherty says, "It's a lot, It's equal to 2.6 million party balloons."
