We spend hours setting up a drone show.

[cheering] We know that 90%, 95% of the audience that sees our shows, it's the first drone show they've ever seen.

You know, maybe they've seen them on YouTube or Instagram or whatever, but seeing them in person is very different.

I think when we first told friends, family, you know, hey, we're starting a drone show company, you know, they pictured me in a van with a couple drones.

Then having them come out and see our shows, I mean, even those people that knew we were starting a drone show company were still blown away just by the size and scale of everything.

My name is Tom Dolan, I'm the owner of BrightFlight Drone Shows.

We are out here flying 600 drones, which is the Mile High Drone Show with Visit Denver.

So all the cases start in the center, then we have four individual grids of 150 drones.

Then, we kind of break into teams.

You don't have to walk as far to grab all the drones.

And with quick turnaround of 600 drones every single night, efficiency is huge.

The nice thing is sustainability here.

We fly these, these will land right back in their same place.

We will pack them up, and we will do the exact same thing tomorrow.

So we're not flying the exact same show every single night.

We have some crowd favorites, Blucifer, Big Blue Bear, Red rocks, a few other ones that people just love.

So we fly those every single night.

You'd be surprised where drone shows can fit in.

We've done quinceaneras.

We've done huge, massive shows like this.

We've done CU halftime, CSU halftime shows.

I'm a Colorado native.

So really proud that we can put on so many shows for people across the state.

We really do, gosh, 95% of our shows right here in Colorado, which is really special.
