Can Drones Replace Fireworks?

Listen, I like blowing things up just as much as anyone. I was in an artillery unit, for Christ sake. But thanks to relaxed state laws that cater to the pyromaniac in all of us, there have been a lot of amateur fireworks over the past few evenings here in Nazareth. I know it drives some pets, and even some people, crazy. There have been so many complaints at Complainers of Bethlehem that there are even complaints about the complaints. And no one is paying much attention to the 150' rule. Out west, where wildfires rage, fireworks events are being canceled for something else - an aerial drone show.

Above is one over Mt. Fuji in Japan.
