Original Toronto Star caption: Beautiful balloon: Whenever the Goodyear blimp lands to allow passengers to get on or off, it needs a ground crew of 16 to hold it down. It can carry, five passengers and a pilot, and it floats because its capacity of 5,740 cubic metres (202,700 cubic feet) of helium makes it lighter than air. The blimp cruises along at 80 km/h (50 mph) and is powered by two 210-horsepower engines.
