Part 107 (commercial drone operations) waivers are available publicly and can be searched online at https://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/part_107_waiver.... The waiver for drone swarms will be waiving the drone swarm requirement under "107.35 – Operation of Multiple Small UAS" so you can search there to find who was given the waiver and their contact information.
(1)The United States Government has exclusive sovereignty of airspace of the United States.

I will also add this one as well... as a citizen you have the right to transit in air commerce through the airspace so long as your actions do not cause risk to property or people.
That’s the complete opposite of ownership. So I’m right. Say it.
> Note: The following procedures do not relieve the pilot from see-and-avoid responsibility or compliance with FAR 91.119.
Plenty of things that you must follow.
Hence you don’t own the sky and hence you’re a shithead for acting like a child telling us your Daddy owns the sky so we have to believe you.
I’m still posed off nobody went to jail after y’all got that woman killed on the SWA flight and traumatized the rest.
You need to get buy j. From the tech side and here you are acting like a somebody. Get back to work.
You are using the fallacy of arguing to the absurd.
I’m more correct than an asshole saying “my employer owns the sky listen to me”
Ohhhhh.... I get the employer thing... the FAA Safety Team is a volunteer organization tasked with education. We don't work for the FAA... wow, I finally get it.
The FAA are Traffic Cops or Game Wardens.
Don’t let this pompous asshole tell you his employer owns the skies. The FAA doesn’t own the skies and Cops with his same attitude don’t own the streets.
This person should be censured for spreading disinformation that benefits him/her when it is a lie and the audience is sophisticated enough to not need to eve use colloquial English.
Yes I’m still mad at the phrase because it’s WRONG.
The truth that the FAA has sovereignty over the navigatiable airspace... and unless someone wants to litigate it to give the state/city more power it will stay that way.
You dual mandate clowns are a fucking joke and we all know it.
Not sure about this one... why would you believe I am your employee?
> you are pompous as shit.
Willing to listen to this one.
> dual mandate clowns are a fucking joke and we all know it.
The FAA Safety Team's mandate is as follows
"Lower the Nation’s aviation accident rate by conveying safety principles and practices through training, outreach, and education; while establishing partnerships and encouraging the continual growth of a positive safety culture within the aviation community."

You are my employee to make sure shit doesn’t fall out of the sky. You are a steward of the sky. I asked my commercial airline pilot friend and he agrees that you in a public international forum claiming your employer owns the sky MUST BE CORRECTED ON THE RECORD.
You are clowns which is why the NTSB writes the real reports. I worked closely with the FRA too. Both FAA and the FRA are political entities and revolving doors that barely do their job.
Great work on the ATC upgrades these past 10 years.
Part 91 says you don’t own shit. Telling everybody “my dad owns the skies” is a shithead move.
I wonder if you’re in the Midwest region because I’m about to report a direct conflict of interest from your little revolving door.
I’m right and you’re wrong, start being honest or be willing to be treated like a child.
As an FAA Safety Team Member (24891, https://www.faasafety.gov/FAASTApp/directory/view.aspx?appID...), I can shed more light on this. The FAA owns the skies and provides waivers and this was probably a waived operation from the FAA so they were probably coordinating this on the ground.
Cities, and states can pass laws about where it's legal to operate drones, but no city or state may pass a law restricting the "navigable airspace". New York City's ordinance states that it's "illegal to operate drones from NYC and Manhattan" but that's as far as they can go. It's up to the FAA to decide if an operation is a threat to the public and whether it can be done safely. For drone swarms, the controllers are pre-programmed and have RTK modules providing additional accuracy down to the cm or millimeter compared to meters from GPS and once the modules are loaded and launched the flight can be executed autonomously (however, most of these light shows don't have any sensors so collision avoidance is really within the swarm itself and careful planning to avoid manned aircraft and buildings).
If you'd like to see one of these shows in action from the air (self plug), I have a video from the Independence Day show that occurred in Miami on my channel here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWO3Bo1y3B8
