Made for this moment
Festival Plaza’s community events, the Red River setting, and Shreveport’s sports and performance venues suggest different ways to gather. We connect the creative to your own occasion, then review the audience view and a separate flight area. Downtown airport activity, Barksdale, river access, and venue schedules are part of the initial assessment.
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 Shreveport
Local inspiration. A story made for your audience.
The Red River Revel and Festival Plaza’s wider calendar show how artists, musicians, and food traditions bring people downtown. For your own gathering, we can develop an original sequence with your contributors. Artwork and music rights, stage structures, public routes, and a separate flight footprint are established before a finale is agreed.
A Red River backdrop can frame a striking view, but audiences on different banks read formations differently. We establish the intended viewing direction and assess bridges, water users, public paths, lighting, and land access. The river itself is not assumed to be available operating or recovery space.
A celebration around Independence Stadium can build around approved colors and event imagery. Qualifying football restrictions, stadium lighting, seating sightlines, guest routes, and the current aviation environment all affect feasibility. Venue permission alone does not remove a temporary flight restriction or establish a suitable launch area.
For a company reception or convention gathering, a simple visual sequence can resolve into a product, logo, or milestone. We review where guests would watch and how they reach that area. Buildings, nearby roads, and the downtown airport environment help determine whether the proposed outdoor transition can work.
A theatre or music event can inspire an aerial element that follows its final phrase into light. Indoor audiences need a workable exterior viewing arrangement, and covered stages can block parts of the sky. We assess the full production plan and use music or artwork only with appropriate permission.
For a wedding in Shreveport or a private event in Bossier City, a meaningful symbol can become the closing image. We identify the actual property operator and city, then assess trees, neighboring land, ground access, and the guest position. Military and civilian aviation requirements depend on that precise location.

Bossier City, Louisiana · across the Red River
Clearly outside Shreveport city. An aerial concept needs an exterior viewing plan, operator participation, ground separation, and Barksdale-area review.
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 commercial and other aircraft activity, current FAA maps, requested altitude, and the full show volume for the actual property.

Official facility informationEspecially relevant to downtown and riverfront proposals. Assess current airspace, training and other traffic, and the precise launch and performance area.
Bossier City area, Louisiana · military installation
Official facility informationThe base publishes a no-drone policy. Protected installation boundaries, military operations, and applicable restrictions require review distinct from civilian airspace and venue permissions.
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 guidanceConfirm the operator for the chosen park, stadium, or event facility. A reservation addresses site use within its conditions; it does not authorize aircraft operations.
Official planning guidanceShreveport & the surrounding area
Tell us about your venue, whether it’s in the city or the wider metro. We’ll look at the proposed launch space and how your audience will experience the show.
Bossier City is a separate city across the Red River. Downtown aviation, Barksdale restrictions, bridges, public paths, and different land managers require an exact-site review.
From the first conversation to the last light
We discuss your date, venue, audience, and creative direction, then review the setting and production requirements.
Our team builds the formations, movement, lighting, and choreography. You can explore the design before the performance.
We coordinate the show setup and on-site operation, with the site and conditions reviewed before flight.
A few things you might be wondering
A cross-river viewing concept would need an agreed audience direction and a complete assessment of both the viewing and operating areas. River activity, bridges, land access, Downtown Airport, Barksdale, and the exact flight volume all matter. A view across the river does not establish permission on either bank.
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 Shreveport and surrounding communities including Bossier City, Blanchard, Greenwood, Haughton, Benton. 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.
