Made for this moment
Downtown baseball, the Tower District’s arts scene, and the gathering spaces around Woodward Park give Fresno events distinct starting points. We develop the show around your audience, then connect the design with a site plan suited to the actual venue.
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 Fresno
Local inspiration. A story made for your audience.
Agriculture and the cultural life of the San Joaquin Valley can inspire more than a skyline outline. A show might move from a familiar local motif into your event’s own message. We choose clear images and movement that read from the main viewing area.
Woodward Park’s Rotary Amphitheater offers a performance context, while its trees and surrounding park activity shape the planning questions. A drone finale would need a separate launch area and operator review. The park’s size alone does not confirm a clear flight footprint.
Chukchansi Park brings baseball into the downtown setting. Team colors or a licensed graphic can help connect a fan event to its audience. Review the actual event notices, neighboring streets, audience position, and available operational space rather than assuming every ballpark event follows the same restrictions.
A food-industry milestone, company anniversary, or regional conference can begin with the work your team does. We can build a short sequence from an idea into a closing mark or message. Travel, site conditions, and creative scope guide the quote.
The Tower District and Fresno’s wider creative community offer inspiration for an event with its own visual voice. For a wedding or private gathering, approved artwork, a name, or a personal symbol can become the final image. The proposed property is reviewed before the production is confirmed.
Fresno Yosemite International and Fresno Chandler Executive are distinct facilities in the site review. Naval Air Station Lemoore becomes relevant when plans extend into its wider region. We also consider valley heat, visibility, weather, and ground access for the proposed event.

A potential festival setting where the selected ground area, active fair operations, structures, and crowd layout determine feasibility.
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.
Review the actual show volume, height, date, and current controlled-airspace information. Nearby event grounds do not come with automatic clearance.
Fresno, California · west of downtown
Official facility informationA separate aviation consideration from FAT. Include aircraft activity and current airspace in downtown and west-side site review.
Kings / Fresno County region, California · outside the immediate Fresno metro
Official facility informationRelevant when plans extend southwest toward Lemoore. Review military and special-use airspace, installation restrictions, and current notices for that location.
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 guidanceDistrict rules, park management plans, commercial activity, and land-use permissions must be checked for the specific park. A park event reservation does not establish flight permission.
