Blue Grass Airport is a frequent stop for the Goodyear Blimp, with the airship having touched down here many times during the blimp’s 100+ year history. The blimp first landed at Halley Field—Lexington's first airfield—around 1930 and landed at Blue Grass Airport for the first time on May 12, 1948.

While the current airships are still referred to as “blimps,” the presence of an internal structure in each of the four airships in the fleet technically classifies them as a “semi-rigid airship.” A blimp has no internal structure and relies on the pressure of the gas used to hold its shape, while a semi-rigid airship uses an internal keel or truss structure (in addition to gas) to support its balloon-like shape.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of P.G. Peeples, a respected former Board Member of Blue Grass Airport. His genuine care for our community and steady leadership left a lasting mark on our organization and those we serve. His contributions helped shape the airport we know today, and his legacy will not be forgotten.

For our first , we wanted to share a photo of the Concorde SST landing at Blue Grass Airport on August 9, 1989. The Concorde, which traveled at twice the speed of sound, found its way to Blue Grass Airport through special arrangements with British Airways to take 98 passengers to London. The Concorde was retired in 2003, but many of the planes are displayed in museums across the world.
