ARLINGTON, TX | The City of Arlington hosted its inaugural Texas Veterans Day Parade on Monday. The parade wrapped up with a patriotic drone show illuminating the skies near Globe Life Field to commemorate the occasion. The Arlington drone show honored the bravery and sacrifices of our nation’s veterans. You can fly a drone light show for many occasions, and Sky Elements proudly flies drone light shows for events like this. To the men and women who serve this great nation, this one’s for you!
Celebrating Veterans in a brand new way
The Texas Veterans Day Parade kicked off with live music and a special flyover by a Bell Helicopter! The Parade route spanned 1.5 miles, weaved through Arlington’s Entertainment District, around Choctaw Stadium, and concluded near the Sheraton Arlington Hotel. The Arlington drone show launched at 6 pm immediately after the parade and was the perfect way to end a very important day. There, 400 drones took to the skies to honor veterans like never before!
The Veterans Day drone show featured every branch of the U.S. Military
The show kicked off with an American flag waving in all its glory. From there, the drone show cycled through each US Military branch’s emblem. Detailed versions of the emblems highlighted all six military branches. The Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Air Force, and brand new Space Force were all represented in the Arlington drone show. A massive tank took to the skies with its main gun rotating and the tracks spinning. The tank fired three shots before revealing the Arlington Logo.
Arlington: Home of the National Medal of Honor Museum
For those that don’t know, Arlington Texas will soon be home to the National Medal of Honor Museum. The Medal of Honor is awarded to men and women of the U.S. Military who have distinguished themselves by performing acts of valor. The final formation in our drone show was in recognition of the museum, which is set to open on March 25th, 2025, National Medal of Honor Day. The team was thrilled to create such an iconic symbol in the sky and hopes to work hand-in-hand with veterans in future endeavors. Creating drone shows that truly resonate with people is our favorite part of the job.
The drone show in Arlington, Texas was a massive success. The crowd roared with cheers as the drones safely touched back down. Happy Veterans Day to all of our men and women in uniform who provided the ultimate act of service to our great country. On behalf of the Sky Elements team, it is a complete honor to have flown this show for you. Thanks to the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation and our partners at the City of Arlington, the drone show went off without a hitch. As always, the Sky Elements team looks forward to more drone shows in Arlington, Texas!
