The questions we get asked

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.

Anywhere. Home base is Utah and most shows fly across the Mountain West, but we've flown across the US and internationally. Travel is quoted as a line item up front.

Many of our shows are public events, and we send pre-show preview clips of your design before flight night.

Four things set the number: how many drones fly, how much of the show is built for you rather than adapted from our catalog, where you're flying and what it takes to get there, and how long the show runs. A short 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 four apply to you, and build a budget around it. Every quote is line-itemed before you sign.

Four things: how many drones fly, how much of the show is drawn from scratch, where the site is and what it takes to get there, and how long the show runs.

The drones, the crew who fly them, the choreography, the soundtrack licensing, and the FAA authorization and permitting for your site. Travel is quoted separately as its own line. You see all of it before you sign. We don't send ballparks.

Yes. That's what the semi-custom package is. We take a show that has already been flown and proven, then build your logo, your music and a few custom formations into it. It costs less than starting from a blank page and it carries less risk.

We're based in Utah and we fly anywhere. Travel, lodging and any site-specific permitting appear as their own quoted lines, so you can see exactly what the location is adding. It is never folded into the show price.

Every show flies under FAA airspace authorization with permits we pull ourselves. Geofenced flight paths, pre-flight checks on every drone, a safety perimeter no audience member crosses.

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.

All of them. FAA authorization, local permits, venue coordination. You sign nothing with a government agency.

None. No debris, no chemicals, no shells. The drones land, we pack the cases, the venue looks untouched.

A hundred draws clean shapes and text. Two hundred adds depth. Four hundred paints pictures. We'll recommend a fleet for your budget and sightlines.

Signature Shows run 8-12 minutes. Custom Productions run 12-18. Most carry 15-25 distinct animations.

Yes. Logos, products, text, animated sequences. Custom Productions are built around them, and Signature Shows can integrate a logo moment.

Signature Shows fly licensed tracks from our library. Custom Productions can use nearly anything, including a score composed for the night.

Up to 400 feet, the FAA ceiling. Shows are designed for your venue's sightlines so the back row sees everything.
