On July 18, Intel flew 2,018 Intel Shooting Star drones over its Folsom, California facility in celebration of its 50th anniversary.

The company’s latest drone light show set a new Guinness World Records title for the most unmanned aerial vehicles airborne simultaneously.

“Several years ago, we had an idea of flying drones forming the Intel logo over our corporate headquarters, and here we are doing just that,” says Anil Nanduri, vice president and general manager, Intel Drone Group.

“It really speaks to the innovative spirit that Intel was founded on 50 years ago.”

From July 18 to 22, weather-permitting, Intel will also celebrate its 50th anniversary by flying 500 of its Shooting Star drones over its corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California.

Those light shows will be in honor of Intel’s employees and their families.
