History

The Wingfoot Lake Hangar was built in 1917 for testing and construction of aircraft by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company. During World War I and II, Goodyear built and manufactured blimps for the U.S. Navy and the first class of Navy airship pilots were trained at the site.[3]

Today the hangar is still used as the center of operations for the Goodyear Blimps and is the oldest airship hangar in the United States. [4]
