Nobody brought their own? I'm disappointed.Wow.!! And listen to the people cheering.!!
Here in Gallup for the 4th of July they had those drones with lights. No flash, no bang.
Just folks in the crowd asking....''Where are the fireworks.??''
Ken Rieder (one of Wednesday night's performers) did a video on his setup a couple months ago. It's remarkably low tech/straightforwardWhat device makes "fireworks from wingtips"?
it was the usual night airshow. kinda repetitive if have seen it for the past few years. But the drone show was amazing! I really think that will be the future. Seeing planes do the same loops and hammerheads will always have a place, but the flexibility of using drone for light shows was exciting,
I heard more gunfire than fireworks, but yes, there were a few folks with their own fireworks scattered around town.Nobody brought their own? I'm disappointed.

Pretty sure they had a guy on each side of the plane shooting roman candles out the side of the plane? At least that is what I suggested to my wife. I don't think she believed me? lolWhat device makes "fireworks from wingtips"?
It's the same show. Possible they might change up what they do with the drones, but that wouldn't make a lot of difference.Is it generally the same between Wednesday and Saturday, or is one bigger / better than the other? First time going to see the night show, just curious if I should be planning better for 2025...![]()
We have had a Labor Day celebration here in town since the 80s with fireworks off the barges in the middle of the Ohio river.Since sadly I was not there....
wondering, for those that were at Sun n Fun this year, how did the night show compare to what they did?
Sun n Fun this year was easily the best "fireworks" show I've ever seen...beating I think, even a fireworks show in Jacksonville FL when they had the Super Bowl here. It was maybe 30 or 40 minutes worth of "grand finale" paced launches from I think three or four different launch points along the river + ground-based stuff from the bridges and highrise buildings
Side note thought about the drone show. We were at Downtown Disney last weekend...ah sorry, Disney Springs they call it now.... They had a drone show there, at least similar to the drone portion of the sun n fun show. While watching I had a thought.
I wonder if in my kids' lifetimes someone will be putting on drone shows in high-definition 3-d......imagine....a 4k high-def screen has about 8.3 million pixels...so think of a drone show using at least that many aircraft.Now imagine those aircraft having a battery life that allows flight time to match a feature-length movie!
