Thanks Mick! I had not seen that photo before... I have some other Tydol blimp images, but not that one...

I would have loved to see the Tydol blimp up close...



On the OR Coast, in Tillamook; There still stands...the "perfect garage" for the Tydol blimp... (or for all the Goodyear Blimps)


A photo of the blimp hanger at the "old NAS Tillamook"... The hanger is now the "home" of The Tillamook Air Museum...



During WWII the hanger housed 8 blimps. Each of the blimps were the same approx size as the Tydol blimp (the Tydol blimp, was purchased from the US Navy after WWII)....

I think there is one of these hangers on the way to San Jose from San Francisco. It's pretty big!
