US AIr Force Academy
US Air Force Academy pride was in full gear as cadets not only witnessed two spectacular drone light shows but engaged in the organizing and setup of the action. The two-day event, held October 30 and November 1 of 2019, was planned to illicit Falcon team pride ahead of the Air Force vs. Army college football game.

500 Classic
In attendance on the first day of the show were three- and four-star generals from the USAF and 6,000 USAFA cadets. Visitors, football attendees, and the general public from the Colorado Springs area were invited to attend the second show. The 500-drone spectacular began with a journey into outer space with images of flying saucers and aliens. Next, it morphed into AF history with a rotating globe, fighter jets, falcons, and more. Bright lights, brilliant colors, and music completed the scene.
Predictably, football was a running theme throughout the show, which also featured helmets and a sky-high “BEAT ARMY” message at the finale. True to form, the US Air Force Falcons beat the Army Black Knights in a score of 17-13.
