Verge Aero drones fly Stars and Stripes for Independence Day Celebration

A crowd of more than 75,000 revelers witnessed an Independence Day drone show in the Cincinnati suburb city of Blue Ash, as Verge Aero’s drones displayed patriotic symbols in the night sky.

Two hundred Verge Aero drones were programmed to deliver a coordinated display, which included a 300 ft wide “waving” American flag as the National Anthem began. Verge Aero’s Director of Show Operations, Mason Hayes, piloted the drone fleet. It was all part of the “Red, White & Blue Ash” show, held at Blue Ash’s Summit Park.

The fireworks display, which ran in-part concurrently to the drone show, was provided by Arthur Rozzi Pyrotechnics. In addition to the Stars and Stripes, the show saw Verge Aero’s drones dart into patterns composed of varying sized circles, double helixes displaying movements mimicking DNA structure, and spheres, spirals and squares forming geometric feasts.

Additionally, huge red, white and blue stars dazzled overhead, and the letters “U-S-A” hit the sky with the acronym re-forming to depict the shape of the country. “The firework display was already programmed by the time we were brought on board, so our task was to complement what they were doing while not being in each other’s space”, says Nils Thorjussen, CEO of Verge Aero.
