Goodyear Blimp, 1973. These two black and white film negative strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images show images associated with the Goodyear Blimp.
Image 9 shows a pilot seated at the controls of an aircraft. The pilot is facing away from the camera. He is likely piloting the Goodyear Blimp. Image 10 shows four men in a large field holding onto a rope which extends out of the image frame. Image 11 shows the Goodyear Blimp in the sky. Image 12 shows an aerial shot of Mount Rainier in the distance and a large expanse of woods in the foreground. Image 42 shows Ken Balsley facing toward the camera. He is inside what is presumably the passenger compartment of the blimp. The pilot is visible in the background. Images 43, 44 and 1 show people exiting the blimp.
Printed in alternation along one long edge of both of these strips is "KODAK SAFETY FILM" and "KODAK TRI X PAN FILM."Made/Created
