Airship

Fun fact:

Goodyear Blimp pilots are rarer than astronauts — which makes them among the rarest pilots in the world.

There are only about 10–12 certified Goodyear Blimp pilots worldwide. It’s a very exclusive and specialized job due to the difficulty of training and operating a blimp.

Flying a blimp requires highly specialized skills and long training. Pilots are usually recruited from experienced fixed-wing or helicopter pilots and go through extensive additional training.

Goodyear currently operates four blimps: Wingfoot One, Wingfoot Two, Wingfoot Three, and a fourth airship operated by Zeppelin in Germany.
