The element that is used in the Goodyear blimp and other dirigibles is helium. This gas is lighter than air and causes the blimp to rise.
In 1925, the first commercially available blimp was built, the Goodyear Pilgrim. It was also the first to be used for public relations. This blimp started the Goodyear Santa Claus Express program where each December the company would decorate it to celebrate the season.The first Goodyear Blimp, the Pilgrim, was first flown in 1927.
