    Wingfoot Two, which has been operating in LA since October, has become a fixture in the California skies.

    CARSON, Calif. — Wingfoot Two has a new home.

    In the early morning hours of Dec. 13, Goodyear inflated a 337-foot long hangar at its Carson base, located near the I-405 freeway, that will be the new home for Wingfoot Two, the newest blimp in Goodyear's fleet of airships. It has been operating in Los Angeles since October.

    "The Goodyear Blimp has been a fixture in the skies over Los Angeles for a half century, and the new hangar gives us a highly visible presence on the ground along one of the busiest highways in the country," said Paul Fitzhenry, Goodyear's senior vice president and chief communications officer.

    The hangar, which was manufactured for Goodyear by inflatable structure specialist Lindstrand Technologies Ltd., stands nine stories tall, Goodyear said.

    United Kingdom-based Lindstrand has constructed more than 200 high-tech inflatable structures, including airline hangars, airline terminal roofs and on military bases.
