PHOENIX — The most iconic airship in the country has officially arrived at the Super Bowl.

The Goodyear Blimp tweeted a picture as it cruised over State Farm Stadium in Glendale just a few hours ago.

The famous blimp is one of three different blimps in the Goodyear fleet.

The blimp will make its way around the city now through Super Bowl Sunday.

People have been documenting the blimp's trip to the Super Bowl over the last few days.

This Twitter user caught it over Coachella Valley on its way to Phoenix yesterday afternoon.

Even the Glendale chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police had to tweet about it when it arrived at the stadium.
