Where the old posts went
If you followed a link to our old blog, this is where it lands. Those posts came down in the rebuild and the journal hasn't restarted yet. What they covered is below.
What we get asked most
How much does a drone show cost?
Three things set the number: how many drones fly, how many of the animations are drawn for your night rather than adapted from our catalog, and where you're flying and what it takes to get there. Run time is not one of them, because every show we fly is 10 to 12 minutes. A catalog show over an easy site is the low end; original choreography for a few hundred aircraft is the high end. We price each show for the night it flies, so rather than quote a range you would have to guess your way into, we'll get on a call, work out which of those three apply to you, and build a budget around it. Every quote is line-itemed before you sign.
What about wind and rain?
We fly in sustained winds to 22 mph and gusts to 30. Any precipitation grounds the fleet. That's an FAA line, not ours. We make the weather call with you, early, with a plan B conversation before show day.
Do you handle permits?
All of them. FAA authorization, local permits, venue coordination. You sign nothing with a government agency.
How far in advance should we book?
Two to four months is a comfortable runway. It protects your date and leaves room to design properly. We've turned a show around in a week when we had to, so ask even if your date is close.
Ready when the sky is.
Tell us the date and the place. We'll tell you what's possible.
