Kites at Night

Kites? Kites aren’t that cool. You know what’s cool? Kites with freaking LED lights and fireworks attached to them—that’s cool! And that’s what’s in this video: a bunch of cool kites with cool lights and fireworks galore. Enjoy.

These amazing kites are flying over the Caspian Sea in June of 2009 in a special performance for the President of Turkmenistan. The delta kites are 17′ wingspan kites with Super LED lights and fireworks all controlled by radio control. The diamond kites are 6′ wide and 6′ high with 100′ tails. The kites are two line steerable kites.
