Wakefield-based Yorkshire Air Ambulance unveils drone show to launch its 25th anniversary year

The breathtaking show, which premiered on Yorkshire Air Ambulance’s (YAA) YouTube and social media channels, has already received hundreds of viewers.

The display coincides with the launch of YAA’s 25th anniversary celebrations and has been released on social media to inspire and thank supporters across Yorkshire.

The drones first synchronise to form a towering 200ft paramedic walking through the sky, before transforming into an exact replica of the charity’s iconic yellow H145 D3 helicopter.

The striking helicopter, with moving rotors and blades before the show concludes with a powerful ‘thank you’ message recognising the vital public support that keeps the Nostell-based charity’s life-saving missions possible.

The show was performed live to a small, private audience of YAA staff at Park Lodge Shooting School, a long-standing supporter of the charity.

The display also uses the voices of actual YAA crew members which was recorded during a live incident, creating an immersive and emotional experience that highlights the charity’s lifesaving work

The show was generously designed and produced by popular drone show company, SKYMAGIC, free of charge, making it a truly special gift to mark the beginning of YAA’s milestone year.
