After appearing at a sporting event in Eugene, Oregon, over the weekend, N3A has been heading north. It departed from Arlington Municipal Airport at 11:45am today, Wednesday, September 10, 2025.

Goodyear announced earlier this year their blimps would be making promotional and anniversary celebration appearances across the US, marking 100 years of Goodyear blimp operations across America.

As of 1:30pm, the blimp appeared on radar having circled Lynden at an altitude of 800 feet.

According to sources, this is a 14-seat Zeppelin blimp/dirigible built in 2018.
