The Goodyear Air-Dock


    Okay, this is a continuation of the previous blog, from the Akron Air Show.  Ever since I was a little girl, I remember my dad would take us to visit his brother in Akron.  We always would drive past this huge, black, oval dome.  I was fascinated by it and would look forward to seeing it every time.  I still do, it doesn't take much to excite me I guess.  

    This dome, or air-dock, is where the original Goodyear dirigibles were housed.  I've heard that this air-dock blimp hangar is so large that it has its own weather climate inside.  It can have clouds and even rain precipitation.
