"CC" Pocock's C170-X experimental Bushplane was modified to take on the temporary role of the "Black Rock City Air Force"- Pyro-Laser plane. The first ever aircraft to be modified to carry high power laser projectors to project laser beam effects from the sky. The show was awarded 3rd place for innovation by the International Laser Display Association (ILDA).

This first ever show took take place at Burningman in August 2024 and consisted of laser and lighting effects projection and fireworks launched from the aircraft North of the Black Rock City. The show was controlled in the aircraft by pilots CC Pocock and Christi Masi. Making all this possible was mainly due to CC's many years of experience in laser, lighting, sound and pyrotechnic special effects as well as being a DJ for many years too.

After sunset on two nights during the event the rockets and missiles were removed and replaced with lasers, lighting and pyrotechnics. The airplane operated out of the Black Rock City Airport (88NV).

Lasers and lights are controled by Christi on a laptop mounted to the instrument panel. CC flys the plane and controls the pyrotechnics from a custom built controler installed on the instrument panel. Power is supplied from a 3.5kw inverter in the rear of the plane. Many more modifications are planned for future shows including special higher power lasers and propane (poofer) flame effects.

The idea for the project started in December 2022. Many hundreds of hours and thousands of $ was spent on modifications, flight testing, rehearsals and approvals.

Plans are currently underway to bring the show back to Burningman in August 2026.
