Candy canes dropped by quadcopter to my son's first grade class. The flight was made autonomously from our house to the school a few blocks away. FPV video was used to monitor the flight and a spotter was present onsite and on the phone at all times. Prior permission was obtained from the school administration and the flight was practiced multiple times during the weekend.
Soundtrack is "SAturn 2014" by Steve Anderson, remixed by Shingo Nakamura. If you like trance and progressive you will love SAME Radio Show - two hours of fresh music every week. Find the podcast on iTunes. Buy the album here: www.samerecordings.com.
