Brookstone Presents The Parrot AR.Drone Flight School

Consumers Get Hands-On as they Learn to Fly this Season's Hottest Holiday Toy

NEW YORK, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- 

               New York City-area residents are invited to experience
               hands-on flight training - flying a helicopter with their
               iPhone device - at the first Brookstone AR.Drone Flight
               School event. Brookstone, the only brick-and-mortar
               retailer where fans can see the AR.Drone fly, is teaming
               up with Parrot, the creators of the AR.Drone, to give
               people their first hands-on training and expert flight
               demonstrations with this year's hottest holiday gift-the
    WHO/       AR.Drone.
    WHAT
               The first quadricopter controlled by an iPod touch(R),
               iPhone(R) or iPad(TM) device, the Parrot AR.Drone combines real
               and virtual worlds to offer an unparalleled flight
               experience. A front camera broadcasts and streams what the
               AR.Drone is seeing onto the iPod touch, iPhone or iPad
               screen, providing an opportunity for augmented reality
               games.
