More Melany!

[@Nghilifa]

I SECOND THAT! What a lady!

[@Republic3D]

We definately need more of her.

[@jj358mhz]

Nice blimps on that babe

[@MD-ve9eh]

THICC

[@Jon-nz3dm]

3:57 I could watch her walk up stairs all day LOL

[@karljacob6366]

nahhhhhh😂

[@robertdavis6708]

The Goodyear blimp is an American Icon for sure. It once came over our farm and the crew and passengers would wave to my family members. I loved the drone of those old engines.

[@411sponge72]

Great video as usual Steve!! Almost 100,000 subs!!! Keep up the great work! We truly appreciate you taking us along on your adventures

[@JC_Aviator]

Is anybody else asking them self why the blimp pilot was holding an Air Horn? @jc_flyer

[@matt_waddy]

I was about to post this same comment. Since it's basically secured only by the nose, I was wondering if it's to somehow alert the crew if he notices some sort of emergency with it getting free while they're inside. Otherwise, I'm stumped.

[@kirklandelectricicnc]

It's to wake up their passengers when they start to doze off.

[@JC_Aviator]

My guess will be to scare birds away. I did flight training out of PMP for a little and they have a lot of bird activity in the airfield, I think they are attracted by the landfill just NW of the airport.

[@bellagio1066]

I thought it was an air freshener when he went into the toilet!

[@JohnSmith-iz8wg]

Is anyone asking them self what they would do with Melanie all the way up there for 10 hours.......

[@Jolinator]

Fantastic video Steveo really interesting to see the behind the scenes on the Goodyear blimp!

[@Ltx_cuban]

great view at 3:57.....dayyyuuummm

[@martinmusiet9780]

Sebastian Kramer guilty

[@FarouqJanmohamed]

i was waiting for someone to say something about that :P you da man!

[@Dave.Cooper]

Check what the pilot (Even) was looking at at 3:57. Don't blame you man, that was fine!!

[@scorpionsedge]

Had to go back to look, I didn't even see him there.

[@BrokenRRT]

Florida Booty! It's lovely!

[@breathoffreshair245]

Really cool upload!! I know your a busy guy, and posting stuff on youtube isn't the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning, but i'd LOVE to see some more videos pop up! 1 video per week is literally such a long wait! Even if it's about what you do on your off time, when your not flying, or other interesting things you might not have told us about!:) If you see this, at least think about it :) Cheers buddy! love your videos btw!

[@TheFreightBeast]

Cool video Steveo! I really enjoy watching your TBM and Cessna flight Vlogs. Keep up the good work!

[@careylogan7639]

Stevevo, I'm not a pilot but I enjoy watching your VLOGs. I'm hooked. I just subscribed to your channel. I have only commented on KZbin once before. you are an impressive young man. I have always wanted to be a pilot but never had the resources to do so. Keep up the great work and keep 'em comin". thanks for all you are doing. I feel like I am in the cockpit with you. I still have a lot of videos of yours to watch to catch up with your progress. I really loved the video on how you got started into aviation as a career. thanks for taking the time to bring some joy into our lives. From some old scooter trash, "keep the leather up and the rubber down". thanks again.

[@legris06]

Great video and presentation of the blimp. Thanks.

[@lawnsalawn]

Hefty stash of blow @ 0:43! Great videos and Huge congrats on the 100K!

[@jakeempey8146]

Steveo Congrats on 100,000 subs man! Keep up the good work!

[@frankshirleyjr3841]

thanks Steveo for the look inside ,very interesting and especially the sit and view from your on personal office.

[@beavisandbutt-head3735]

Steve, you should definitely incorporate "Pilot Melanie" in more vids. I suddenly have the urge to take a ride in the blimp!

[@skoots6303]

“Buttmuch” 😂😂😂

[@triskellian]

These new Zeppelin NT airships are lovely to fly and ride in.My first time piloting one as a guest was the now former Eureka at Airship Ventures in Mountain View California.A current pilot can still have this experience in Friedrichshafen, Germany(Luftschiffbau Zeppelin's homebase).So sad that the Californian based company is gone but it's great that Good Year is flying these graceful aviation ambassadors.

[@jonathanweimer8439]

These are really cool the Goodyear ones were assembled in Akron using the zeppelin kits. I was there a month ago they have one being assembled and one working one in Akron.

[@kenshipley5404]

I grew up in Spring Texas right across the street from a good year blimp base. Years after it left the band Genesis rented it out to prepare for their world tour in the late 80's or early 90's. It was cool to go listen to them jam!

[@chriswalters8110]

Learned a lot on the ballasting and engines. I live just a few miles from the airport where all this started in Goodyear, AZ. Ive seen the one stationed out here several times cruising around the vicinity of the airport.

[@rudyhardy370]

Many years ago there was a Goodyear blimp based here in Houston. We still miss it!

[@flyohioaviation1198]

Awesome video, so cool seeing Wingfoot One, I was at its christening ceremony, which was about 5 min from me in Suffield, Ohio!

[@Garcansdad]

The original 1 Alpha was stationed here in Houston in the seventies. There were no Go Pros back then but I took the tour like you did and shot lots of still pictures. Man has the technology changed. Great video, Steve.

[@stevenkukene9970]

Very cool! Thanks for taking us along.

[@OhioSergeant962]

Outstanding and very interesting! Thank you!

[@dancraig4356]

Steveo, enjoying the trip at Staniel Cay. My wife and I appreciated the flights with Nick and yourself. It was great meeting you today, keep the great videos coming, a lot of us private pilots are living vicariously through your flying experiences!

[@steveo1kinevo]

+dan craig It was a lot of fun letting you fly up front with me today. I hope you and your wife enjoy your stay at Staniel Cay!

[@chrisfinney1905]

I remember when it was based in Houston,Tx right near I-45. My parents would pull to the shoulder of the road to let us kids watch it takeoff and land. I always thought it was the neatest thing ever to see in person!

[@InfluencersDeElite]

Awesome! Love this. ☺️

[@steveo1kinevo]

+Pilot Luana Thanks Luana, I look forward to seeing more of your videos!

[@hk15]

Pilot Luana me too, posta mais vídeo Luana, te sigo no insta tb! 😍

[@InfluencersDeElite]

Oi hk15, Que legal! Pode deixar que eu vou postar sim. Grande abraço

[@jake-rx9rs]

Wow your so beautiful and a pilot !!!

[@jamesfarnham1976]

That was cool, very informative. Thank you!!

[@grandpa1955]

Very nice. Thanks for posting.

[@pedroluizcarneiro7455]

Great! I hope to see you flying the blimp some day.

[@rleach40]

I golfed there and saw the blimp take off tons of times! It was awesome!

[@paulfuchs3686]

I had the pleasure to fly in the Weather channel blimp with the pilot in a "wheel Chair". No side stick on that old Weather Channel Blimp. Coolest ride I have ever had!

[@iglooo102videos]

A blimp from the air. See what it is like from the ground. Majestic.

[@AndyBraithwaite1963]

That was cool. I managed to get 20 minutes flying the old blimp back in 1990. Before fly-by-wire the pitch control was a huge trim wheel as too much movement was needed for a column to work. Our Goodyear pilot gave an interesting demo, he pitched it about 20 degrees nose down and the airspeed decreased. It seems obvious afterwards that with an airship the lift and pitch are unrelated as they are in a fixed wing a/c.

[@flytbrowne1073]

Thanks for the amazing video

[@wbuttry1]

that is one of the items on my bucket list for sure that would be a awesome expierence just to ride much less fly one . Awesome vid thanks for posting that one for sure.

[@sonikhanem]

what an awesome video you guys!!!! 1. it makes me realize how little i knew about blimps and 2. that i need to stop working on the weekends so i can join in on the fun!!! now, how are we celebrating????

[@DrThomasMcClellan]

Love the channel. One of my favorites. Love the exuma flying as well. I totally thought you were gonna get the captain to flash "Stevo1kinevo's a pimp" on the side of the blimp. Next time...

[@gewglesux]

hahha nice one....

[@christopherfriedley2079]

Thanks for the vid Steveo!

[@FlyersDistrict]

N1A - Love flying at Pompano when the blimp is flying.

[@jangubob0060000]

Hay Steveo! Love them videos!!! I'm currently doing my private pilot license at KFXE and seems like I always miss you when your preparing at watermaker. HAHA! HOPE I GET TO RUN INTO YOU SOMEDAY. Cool to see that Embry Riddle was part of this! I'll be going there this May! Go Eagles! HAHA!

[@ericheaf]

Congratulations on your 100k subscribers!!!

[@bhmintdax5759]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@bobbuchanan2626]

That was very interesting, thanks Steveo.

[@Baschtel6666]

Nice german technology you have there ;) Those blimps are build around 10km from my home at the beautiful Lake of Constance in southern Germany. Maybe one day you come visiting Europe and have a look inside the "Zeppelin Werft" as we call it here. Or flying some trips around the alps :) Greetings from Meersburg, Germany

[@maxchilla732]

TT0 ist das ein Zeppelin NT? bin mit dem schon geflogen.

[@Baschtel6666]

max chilla ja ist es ;) sagt er sogar im Video

[@triskellian]

A trip to the airfield there would be a great reason to go to Germany for an airship ride!

[@franzamann1]

I have family who live in uberlingen and have been to the Zeppelin museum many times

[@1997bluetiger]

you're right, but the technology is from Germany and the first three Blimps of this type were built in Friedrichshafen at the so called "Zeppelin Werft"at the lake of constance.

[@Ataylor0]

Great video. Would love to see a blog of it inflight!

[@timflynn2136]

Cool 👍!!! My Father flew on the USS Shenandoah ZR-1 Airship. He was a Machinist Mate.

[@nkennethdaniel]

Great Video! Keep it up.

[@tmm83093]

It flew right over my grandpas house in palm beach, it was awesome!

[@peterellison2220]

Embry riddle! I was thinking of going there. Looks like a great univeristy

[@MatthewMiller716]

Pretty cool to see you with some Riddle folks. I'm a Riddle grad

[@NeverGiveUp8080]

Blimps are awesome!

[@theav8rs45]

Awesome Video! Love this channel!

[@jaronsherwood1501]

Oh my gosh!! Embry-Riddle!! That’s where I’m going to school next year baby!!! Woohoo

[@johnisaac8520]

I would love to see some footage shot from the GoodYear blimp in flight up and down the coast. Either way this video is great. Keep it up Steveo!

[@MikeKobb]

This is a Zeppelin NT, built in Germany. Unlike the old Goodyear blimps, the structure is actually rigid, and there are bags inside to hold the helium. There was a company in the San Francisco area called Airship Ventures, and they gave tourist rides on a Zepplin NT like this one. Unfortunately the rides were kind of expensive and I think they weren't able to make the business work so it no longer exists. I was fortunate to go for a 1-hour ride on the Zeppelin NT, and it was absolutely fantastic. It's very quiet inside compared to a typical small airplane. The windows open, and when we were flying over Oakland you could hear the sounds of the city below. You're right, Steve, by the way, the view from that seat in the back is amazing.

[@r.l.sewall7944]

Steve: Thanks for this video of the G Y Blimp. Got it on the list to come down to Pompano from Boynton Beach and take that tour.

[@Schipholinminecraft]

Great video again Steve!

[@barrysmith5306]

That certainly was different thanks for sharing

[@mikelee980]

Totally agree!! Best view of the whole vid!!!!!

[@GiulioBerti]

That's a biiiig windsock! Nice one Steveo!

[@michaelhubble]

Super cool stuff Steve

[@danharris6449]

I flew the Eagle in 2000 in the Los Angeles area several times. Was a blast!!

[@blumac9801]

I live in palm beach, good to see that your doing things chose to my home

[@jamesfeisley2810]

Great content of professional quality!!

[@UncleKennysPlace]

I've been in one of these, tethered, when the tail went up. All you can do is wait!

[@ogdumplings8196]

I just helped one of the zippline to do database update today, beautiful machine that's why I'm here.

[@BenJosephWorld]

Woah... I just fell in love when i heard "Pilot melany"

[@BWTIII]

Great video!

[@jackboschen2604]

Congrats on 100K subscribers Steveo!

[@ryanhampson673]

Flew next to them last month when I was instructing at lantana, not often you get to do an approach parallel to a blimp :)

[@robertross804]

thanks for the behind the screen look from liberty ky

[@dphotos007]

I did a photo story of a Goodyear Blimp in Los Angeles in the 90's. Got to go for an hours ride. Very cool. I remember the pilot who's name was Nick used a big wheel in the center for the pitch of the elevator.

[@conradinhawaii7856]

dphotos : It was Nick Nicholaides. He and Tom Matus were Goodyear airship captains at Carson in the '80s and '90s.

[@notar187]

looks like fun ,thanx

[@michelemarcolin2548]

I went on board an older version, many years ago, when it came in Italy!

[@phcnh]

Ive ridden on the goodyear blimp many a times.

[@mikecoffee100]

Heeey Hello from Canada used to luv the visits from Cali up to Vancouver Canada every Summer.

[@SteelyPaw]

A really nice tour, thank you very much. Is the first I've ever seen a blimp up close like that and was great to hear her pilot narrate too. I have one question: do you think the blimp(s) make Good-Year tires cost more or less? Personally I've been running Bridgestone super tracks on my jeeps and they've been ideal if you don't mind a bit of road hum, but the traction is really the benefit.

[@shemphoward6274]

Dang! I was hoping we would get to see Stevo get a checkout in the Blimp.

[@travelwithus750]

Cool vid Steveo. Awesome footage of blimp. U think that would be scary to fly in more so than a plane lol. It's a balloon lol. Can't get pic out of my head of that one that burned lol.

[@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs]

Blimps are awesome :D

[@therobloxianeclipse3924]

Haii

[@fredy-nw9xz]

Well it’s the only one that’s flying around

[@braydensnonsence50637]

Sure are.

[@ontheroadwithjohn]

There is something he can do when he see's the sharks. He has a keyboard that he can write anything on. HEY LOOK BEHIND YOU SHARKS.....

[@LeasyB]

Hahaha good point 😂👌🏼

[@justinsimpson2335]

John Rybka Then watch as the whole beach panics!

[@ontheroadwithjohn]

Yer and great vantage point to watch

[@davecrupel2817]

Justin Simpson oh my god that would be horrible hahaha 👌😂👌😂

[@froggie6608]

You probably would not be able to see the LED display during the day.

[@dwohio6398]

Excellent! Greetings from Akron, Ohio.

[@sopilote56]

Watch for EAA 1929 Ford Tri-Motor scheduled to give rides at Pompano Airpark (Home of the Blimp) Thursday March 9 through Sunday March 12th. Steveo ask them to let you fly right seat! Bring your logbook.

[@MickeyNM]

Great vids, Steveo - new subscriber. Always wanted to fly but never had the money. Flew a glider for an hour one time, was awesome. I'm wondering what your take is on the Harrison Ford incident at John Wayne, knowing that you'll be speculating, of course.

[@SuperPussyFinger]

3:57 - Man, that blimp has one hell of a caboose.

[@alexisonfire9488]

Great video

[@jonathanknight89]

That was awesome!

[@captmoonbeam]

Very interesting, Thanks.

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Cool stuff!

[@jumping438]

[@ChrisB257]

Fascinating Steve - that is quite a machine. :)

[@255-southcarolina8]

wow that Was Cool thanks

[@bigdaddylewis3321]

cool video steve.very interesting

[@andrewortega9315]

Great vlog

[@MajorCaliber]

PMP is mah home-base!... it was in Summer of 2005 that duh GY Blimp crashed in nearby Coral Springs, FL, caught in the downdraft of a thunderstorm. It was left draped across the roof of a self-storage warehouse, completely deflated, and looking, from the air, like a giant used condom, LOL! (No injuries, I can lol, no emails, please...)

[@andrewanane9715]

Love it!

[@BillieJackFuMediaGroup]

Got hooked on your videos and subscribed. I wanted to be a pilot when I was much younger, but now I think I'm too old for it. Maybe someday you can make a flight up here to KHIO and take me on a flight. You are just so calm.

[@2004JETTA]

Early congrats on 100k subscribers :) any plans to celebrate?

[@steveo1kinevo]

+2004JETTA thanks! I am pretty excited to hit my goal. It's been a fun ride so far.

[@raztaz2668]

Thats is awesome
