As they say, everything is bigger in Texas — and that includes America 250 celebrations!
With America’s 250th birthday right around the corner, 2,500 drones were sent up into the North Texas sky for a patriotic display.
The results were simply incredible.
You have to see this for yourself:

The company who pulled this off is called Sky Elements Drones — and, they absolutely understood the assignment!
In total, they are holding three America 250 drone shows across North Texas.
Fox 4 News shared more information on what goes on behind the scenes of these fantastic drone shows:
North Texas-based drone show creator Sky Elements has three Fourth of July drone shows in the area this week. There was one on Wednesday in North Richland Hills. There will be another show in Irving on Friday.
The company said a lot goes into preparing the high-tech experience.
“Drone show setup is a tedious process but actually most of the work for tonight’s show has already been done. There have been hundreds of hours put into designing the animation of tonight’s show, so the crew here behind me setting up the drones is setting up the networking equipment to tell the drones what they need to do to perform tonight’s show,” said Hayes Walsh with Sky Elements.
The Mansfield show will feature both regular drones and pyro drones, which have some amazing firepower.
“We have pyro drones, which are pyrotechnics mounted onto the drones themselves. So, tonight there are at least 400 drones with 50 pyro drones and what they do is add an extra factor to the drones. We like to say dialing it up to 11. It’s fantastic,” Walsh said.
