MEDIA RELEASE__Bluffton's America 250 committee has scheduled a drone light show for the evening of June 19 following the Lions Club Festival of Wheels.
But what is a drone show? The event will consist of 100 computer-synchronized areodrones (UAVs) creating colorful light formations and 3D pictures in the sky. It’s a nighttime color spectacle in the sky, much like fireworks.
The attached video by drone show provider Hire UAV Pro Drone Light Shows illuminates just what that looks like and how it happens.
Contact Bluffton's America 250 organizers at [email protected] or drop off a donation to the Village of Bluffton with America 250 in the check memo.
