SEATAC 400 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 That's really sad. I've been in the Pompano Beach, FL based Goodyear blimp a few times, and the pilots have always been the nicest guys. Professional and courteous. They only hire the best. That's a shame that this one died. Link to post Share on other sites
