NORAD’s aerostat drifts away; Goodyear floats a little humor
The Goodyear Blimp Twitter account weighed in on breaking news of a military aircraft that had broken free from its mooring.
It was an aerostat, not a blimp—but let’s not let that fact get in the way of a good story.
On Wednesday, #Blimp trended worldwide on Twitter after a runaway
military surveillance aerostat—resembling a blimp—broke free from its anchor at an Army post in Maryland.
The social media team in charge of @GoodyearBlimp’s account was ready with advice:
One piece of advice for #JLENS: Flying airships is always better with a pilot.

Goodyear Blimp’s team also showed off a bit:
We can report that both Goodyear Blimps are accounted for and safely operating. Godspeed, #JLENS.
