           You drone guys are going to love this:

            (Have fun.    y1    #^   )  


  THIS WILL PROBABLY, EVENTUALLY REPLACE FIREWORKS.
     
         Drones  have a lot of people worried about privacy, but they can be used for good  as well as nefarious purposes. Take, for instance, a spectacular display  of drone technology by Intel Corporation (USA) involving 100 small  aircraft being launched skywards in formation has earned a new Guinness  World Record for the Most Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) airborne  simultaneously. Controlled on the ground by a crew using PCs with Intel  software, the mass of drones lit up the night sky in sync to a live  performance of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and executed a stunning light  show resembling a fireworks display. Drone 100 took place at Flugplatz  Ahrenlohe, Tornesch , Germany , in November 2015. The record was set in  collaboration with Ars Electronica Futurelab to push the limits of the UAV  industry and to show what UAVs can be used for.
 
This 100 Drone Synchronized Airshow Is The World's  Largest, And Most Impressive <https://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=mOBQXuu_5Zw>

plus they were flying inside of the 5 mile limit from an airport!
I guess we know now why the "operator" not the UAS needs to be registered.

I wouldn't want one of those things coming down on me while playing in the band...
I hope they used some lateral offset, for safety. I'm sure they considered that.
It was pretty cool.

It was cool and since it is outside the USA why would the FAA give any notice to it except to say like us that it is interesting even cool!

Dennis,

I guess I'll have to start treating you like I do my wife and type this is a joke before every joke!!

I'm fully aware that it was in Germany but just couldn't pass up the opportunity to comment on the fact that it was "unregulated".
