## A first for the country

No drone show had flown in El Salvador before. We designed the 10-minute show and flew it with SkyLights, whose pilots are certified by the Mexican aviation authorities. The test flight was the night before the show.

## The launch party

The event was hosted by Brock Pierce on the Pacific coast of El Salvador. La Nación and La Opinión covered it.
