Lighter Than Air Corps
In the mid-1960s, a group of creative visionaries founded the "Lighter Than Air Light Show" in Tacoma, Washington, bringing mesmerizing visual experiences to audiences across Western Washington. Originating at Salmon Beach, this trailblazing company quickly established itself as a beacon of innovation in light-based entertainment, captivating viewers with dazzling displays that defined an era.
One of the co-founders, Robert DeLong, shares his journey from Tacoma to the world stage. In 1988, he carried the company's equipment to Mexico, where he pursued his undergraduate degree. Though life took him further afield—to New Zealand, where he has resided for decades—the spirit of "Lighter Than Air" remains a cherished memory.
