ZachTheZip Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 That's a nice shot of the Blimp, but how old is it? Downtown Akron is much bigger now. Quote
UA Fan Posted September 9, 2006 Author Report Posted September 9, 2006 I think Goodyear changed the blimp style/colors around mid-80's or later so it's not too old. Cities do tend to look smaller from the air though. Quote
ncsucbass Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 No. Ohio is the Birthplace of the Wright Bros. North Carolina is the Birthplace of Aviation (if the personification is that of aviation). Quote
bobbyake Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 That's a nice shot of the Blimp, but how old is it? Downtown Akron is much bigger now. I'm willing to bet that Akron's population was bigger in this picture than it is today. Quote
Zip Watcher Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 No. Ohio is the Birthplace of the Wright Bros. North Carolina is the Birthplace of Aviation (if the personification is that of aviation). First flight did take place in NC .. our compliments for that.Aviation was borne in a bike shop in Dayton, OH .. and OH remained the center of improvements & advances in flight for decades after Kitty Hawk.On a related topic, if you're ever near Dayton, don't miss the USAF museum there .. it blows Air & Space away.

Zipsrifle Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 Relative to my point of view, it can't be that old. The ballpark is there, Inventors HOF and the "New" building (I think it was Summa??) across from the federal building in Downtown is there. I think the last one was built maybe 6 years ago. Quote
