Made for this moment
Downtown Chandler’s gatherings and Tumbleweed Park’s outdoor events offer different creative starting points. We shape the show around your own occasion, then assess the audience view and a separate aircraft area. Current park works, active recreation, and the East Valley’s aviation environment all belong in that review.
Starbound Labs designs the show and brings the performance together. Our Spectra drones, in-house firmware, and Starbound OS software connect the creative work with the fleet and team on the ground.

Rooted in Chandler
Local inspiration. A story made for your audience.
Chandler’s Tumbleweed Tree offers a distinctive reference for a seasonal gathering. A tree-inspired outline can become an original story chosen by your organizers, without implying a city event partnership. We review the actual event footprint and current downtown construction before proposing where guests and aircraft could be accommodated.
A community festival or arts performance at Tumbleweed Park can call for broad formations that read from a lawn. Trees, recreation facilities, walking routes, and neighboring uses still shape the ground plan. The park’s name and open appearance do not establish aviation permission or an available launch area.
For a Chandler business gathering, a sequence can build from a simple point into a product, pattern, or company message. We start with the people watching and the meaning of the milestone. The exact property, outdoor route, lighting, and airport environment determine how a reception could transition into a reveal.
Veterans Oasis Park’s lake and trails suggest a setting where audience movement and habitat deserve close attention. A reflective or nature-inspired concept needs a separate operating-footprint assessment. We review the operator’s conditions, surrounding homes, trees, and public recreation rather than treating a lakeside view as sufficient.
Chandler’s outdoor performance calendar can inspire a show that follows the final musical or dance phrase into light. We discuss rights and timing with your production team. Stage structures, sightlines, guest access, and a workable flight area are assessed together before any aerial element is agreed.
For a wedding or family milestone, a shared symbol can make the final reveal feel intimate even at sky scale. We review the precise property, guest position, neighboring land, and setup access. Weather contingencies and the required ground and aviation permissions are part of the same planning conversation.

Official venue websiteThe airspace is part of the plan
The right starting point is your exact venue, launch location, show height, and date.
For each proposed show, we check current FAA maps, NOTAMs, temporary flight restrictions, and the complete flight area. Nearby airports and military facilities are part of that review, alongside other local aviation activity.
A busy general aviation and training environment. Assess the entire show volume, altitude, date, and current FAA information for the selected property.
Review the precise flight area against current airspace and aircraft activity. The current airport name replaces Phoenix-Mesa Gateway.
Phoenix, Arizona · wider Valley
Official facility informationInclude the wider controlled-airspace environment in the review. A park booking or airport phone call is not an FAA authorization.
Relevant to proposals extending into the west Valley. Military restrictions must be checked for the actual site and operation, separately from civilian approvals.
Where the flight area requires controlled-airspace authorization, we identify the applicable FAA process. LAANC may be available for eligible operations; airspace authorization for operations using an operational waiver follows the FAA’s designated process through FAADroneZone. An airport phone call is not a substitute for the required FAA authorization.
FAA authorization guidanceQualifying sporting events can trigger temporary flight restrictions affecting stadiums and surrounding areas. We review the applicable notices and show timing; venue permission or a routine airspace authorization alone does not remove these restrictions.
FAA stadium guidanceThe show plan also determines operational waiver requirements, including a multiple-aircraft waiver where one pilot operates multiple drones. New operational waiver applications use the FAA’s Aviation Safety Hub. Venue and landowner permission, crowd separation, and any local event permits are handled alongside the aviation review.
FAA waiver guidancePublic-property events use the city’s current application process. Confirm park and construction conditions alongside any street or event requirements.

A few things you might be wondering
Current works and the actual event layout need to be checked first. A partial opening or a scheduled festival does not establish a launch area. We review the operator’s available space, guest circulation, nearby buildings, and the full aviation requirements before confirming feasibility.
Start by sharing the address, event date, and any venue information you have. We review the proposed launch area, audience viewing position, access, surrounding airspace, and site conditions before confirming whether a show is feasible.
We welcome enquiries for Chandler and surrounding communities including Gilbert, Mesa, Phoenix, Tempe, Queen Creek, Sun Lakes. Every proposed property needs an individual site and aviation review.
Yes. We design formations, colors, animation, and choreography around your story. Tell us which brand elements, personal details, and music matter to the event so we can discuss the creative direction.
Pricing depends on the number of drones, creative scope, event location, travel, and production requirements. Share your plans and we’ll prepare a quote for your event.
Contact us as soon as you have a date and a possible venue. Early planning gives us time to review the location, develop the show, and coordinate the event requirements. Availability depends on your date and production needs.
Weather is part of the planning and show-day review. We discuss operating conditions and contingency arrangements with you before the event; the final decision to fly depends on conditions on the day.
