We have arrived in Vancouver, BC. Hi! I’m Sara, the Goodyear Blimp Lady, and myself and a few others are on the pavement (and sometimes snow) in Vancouver for the XXI Olympic Games! Goodyear is the official provider of NBC's aerial coverage of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. While the unpredictable weather doesn’t allow for a blimp, we’re providing aerials with a fixed-wing in the city and helicopters in the mountains of Whistler. While you’re watching the games from the comfort of your home for the next 17 days, keep your eyes open for the iconic Goodyear blimp graphic – which may be participating in a few sporting events J.
You could feel the excitement and energy in the air upon our arrival at Vancouver International Airport. The airport was buzzing with folks from all over the world…Russia, Denmark, France. On Tuesday, we began setting up our equipment and had the chance to see the city for the first time. What a beautiful place! While setting up our receive equipment on a tall building in downtown Vancouver, we were able to take in 360-degree panoramic views of the city…from North Vancouver to Cypress Mountain up to Richmond; including a glimpse of the Olympic rings in the bay.
Here’s a photo of a few members of the Goodyear team setting up, with North Vancouver in the background.
I hope you will continue to follow me on my travels through Vancouver, BC. Talk to you soon!
