WATCH: Fireworks From the Air Are Even More Impressive

These Airborne HD Videos Will Give You a New Appreciation for the Art and Science of Fireworks Displays

Everybody loves fireworks. Well, animals and some folks maybe not so much, but they do entertain and enthrall us. Invented thousands of years ago in China, fireworks today often highlight events celebrating Independence Day and New Year’s Eve in the United States as well as other national events around the world. The sophisticated chemistry involved in making the different colors and explosive behaviors of fireworks are seldom appreciated by the “ooh aah” crowds attending the displays, but suffice it to say that if you know, you know, and if you don’t, the show will still be impressive. However, fireworks can be even more impressive when viewed from above, or level with, the “bombs bursting in air.” Enjoy these looks at fireworks displays as seen from the Avgeek’s perspective.
