I have always been interested in the USS Akron and Macon. Β It was neat to be able to visit the site they were manufactured.

I am amazed the place has remained standing. What do you use an airship hangar for, if you don't have any airships?

I think it is now owned by Lockheed/ Martin. The facility exists and it is paid for, so I guess they keep using it.
During WWII, Goodyear built FG Corsairs at this plant as well as Naval Blimps.

It would be practical for making blimps, of course.

It is the 'Airdock' in Akron Ohio where the ZRS-4, USS Akron and ZRS-5, USS Macon were constructed.
