This was the drone display viewed from above Chumash Park in Agoura Hills on the evening of Iuly 5, 2026.
Rather than a 4th of July fireworks display, this third annual "Patriotic Drone Show" drone-rather-than-fireworks presentation went off without a hitch. Sponsored by DIY Home Centers and celebrating the Untied State's 250th birthday, the pre-programmed drone swarm from SkyElements Drone Shows danced and flashed their way through a just over 13 minute orchestrated flight performance.
I estimated this swarm was about 420 UAVs strong. These uvify IFO platforms have a reported ideal flight time of upwards of 25 minutes, but likely have closer to a 20 minute practical operation window. Hence the just over 13 minutes of operation gave the vendor good show duration while still maintaining a comfortable safety margin. Weather was great with little wind or other issues that could have complicated flight operations or truncated batery life.
