More than 71,000 drone flights over three nights in North Texas, capped by an 11,000-drone show, bring the nation’s largest show title home to Sky Elements
DALLAS, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sky Elements, the leading drone show company in the United States, set two GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS titles during seven large-scale drone shows over three consecutive nights in Blue Ridge, Texas. Together with Damoda America, the company launched 71,207 drones in one week, the most ever recorded, including an 11,000-drone performance, the largest drone show ever flown in America.
The team also set the record for the largest aerial display of a mythical creature, flying 10,183 drones to shatter the previous mark of 2,247. The titles are Sky Elements’ 18th and 19th world records.
“Sky Elements already performs on the world stage, from Formula 1 in Monaco to our September 11th Memorial in New York City,” said Rick Boss, CEO of Sky Elements. “Until now, shows of this size have happened in Asia and the Middle East. This week, we proved an American team can fly them here at home, and we did it night after night.”
From Sunday, Sept. 27, through Tuesday, Sept. 29, Sky Elements flew six 10,000-drone shows and one 11,000-drone show, surpassing the previous record of 55,939 drones flown in one week. Crews recharged and relaunched the fleet between flights, and an official Guinness World Records adjudicator verified each one.
Sky Elements pilots, engineers, and designers worked onsite with Damoda America to create original formations for every show, filling the Texas sky with a soaring eagle, a lion, turning gears, a dragon, Pegasus, Americana imagery, and scenes from deep space. Recreations of Noah’s Ark and a black hole, followed by a UFO sequence, closed out the attempt.
“Flying more than 10,000 drones at a time repeatedly, night after night, takes an extraordinary team, and Damoda America was a true partner at every step,” said Boss. “We thank them for their commitment to this effort and for helping us bring a show of this scale to American skies.”
The record-week performance positions Sky Elements to deliver shows featuring 10,000 drones or more for sports leagues, municipalities, brands, and major events nationwide.
