The Vindicator Lesson in Aeronautics Thirty five members of Youngstown Civil Air Patrol, ARS Composite Squadron, toured the Goodyear Wingfoot Lake Airship Facility in Suffield on Jan. 31. The group viewed a video on the history of Goodyear’s airships, learned the blimp is made of a rubber-like material about as thick as a rubber band, and viewed a gondola and control surfaces that are being refurbished. From the observation area, they watched as the “Spirit of Goodyear” took flight.
