Walmart is launching a holiday-themed drone light show in 8 cities across the US. The show will feature around 1000 intel drones creating 3D shapes and characters all choreographed to holiday music. You do need to sign-up for the drive-in event. The first show is December 4th in Kansas City at the Kansas Speedway. You can find the full list of locations in the description below and the link to get tickets. 

Now how about a quick feel good story. A drone helped find a dog that was lost in the woods for 10 days. Meadow, a golden retriever puppy went missing in a wooded area in New York. When local drone pilot and hiking guide, Brian James, saw the flyer describing Meadow he decided to take his drone out into the woods. Sure enough he was able to spot a little furry white patch from the sky. Meadow was safely rescued and returned home to her family. We love hearing stories of drones being used for good.
