GTA 6 Advertising Reaches Florida Skies; Goodyear Blimp Spotted With Vice City Design
The GTA 6 advertising campaign in Florida has now moved beyond the ground and into the skies. New images have recently emerged of the famous Goodyear Blimp, registration N3A, which shows
GTA 6's ambitious advertising campaign in the state of Florida has now crossed the borders of the earth and taken to the skies.
New images of the famous Goodyear Blimp airship with the registration number N3A have just been released, showing its giant body decorated with graphics related to the game GTA 6 and symbols of Vice City.
These sensational images made the rounds on social media and quickly made their way to the popular GTA 6 forum on the Reddit platform. Documentation posted on this forum shows the N3A airship flying over Florida in a completely new, promotional look; This is apparently a small part of Rockstar Games' extensive and expensive pre-launch marketing plan.
Investigations show that the N3A identifier does indeed and legally belong to Goodyear. Official data from the Aircraft Registry confirms that this registration number belongs to a Zeppelin model LZ N07-101 (built in 2018) owned directly by Goodyear Tire & Rubber. Also known as Wingfoot Three, this flying vehicle is one of the prominent members of the company's famous advertising fleet.
Although in popular culture and media these devices are usually referred to by the general title Goodyear Blimp, Wingfoot Three is technically a semi-rigid Zeppelin (Semi-rigid Zeppelin NT) and has structural differences with the old non-rigid Goodyear balloons. However, Goodyear itself prefers to market its modern and current fleet under the familiar and nostalgic Goodyear Blimp brand.
The presence of this flying billboard in the sky of Florida is not surprising at all. Over the past weeks, Rockstar Games has greatly expanded its physical and environmental promotional activities for GTA 6 in the city of Miami, which is the source of inspiration for Vice City. One of the most prominent and newsworthy examples of this campaign was the installation of the huge and brilliant words Welcome to Vice City on the roof of the indoor Kaseya Center in the heart of Miami.
According to the plans, this environmental campaign is going to take on wider dimensions from 23 Mehr (October 15). Permits issued by Miami city officials allow Rockstar Games to display GTA 6 advertisements on Miami Beach beach chairs and umbrellas, as well as advertising banners in various locations downtown. According to the existing permits, this wave of urban advertising is supposed to remain in force until the end of December.
This isn't the first time that Goodyear has lent one of its iconic airships to other companies to promote a major entertainment project. Earlier, this company, in cooperation with Disney and Pixar studios, had changed the appearance of some of its airplanes for the release of the Cars animation series.
GTA 6 game will be released on 28 Aban (19 November) for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
The GTA game series has an adult age rating; Therefore, it is necessary for families to monitor the access of children and teenagers.
