All,

The same group seems have done a drone show for Boston -- on the eve before
Paul's Ride 04/18/25

Boston 250Firefly lit up Boston Harbor with a 250-drone show celebrating
the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. The sky came alive
with iconic Revolutionary War imagery, from lanterns in the steeple to
Revere on horseback. Over 40,000 gathered along the waterfront to witness
the kickoff of Boston’s #Boston250 events.
