Wings that shot flames out of them.
Sure, occasionally a drone goes rogue and careens into the crowd. But a drone show is still way safer than when your cousin lights a Roman candle off his cigarette at your family Fourth of July picnic.
This was the first of two drone shows the Pirates have planned, interspersed with fireworks shows.
Which, as we've established, are fine, but certainly no drone shows.
