Thanks for a useful reminder. Most GPS-enabled drones won't even spin-up their motors close to aerodromes because of geofencing. They won't fly more than 400' (120m) above their TOLP either, and BVLOS flight being prohibited for most pilots, they won't get anywhere near a flight path. Since most aerodromes are on slightly raised but flattish ground, the drone's TOLP altitude will usually be lower than the altitude of the aerodrome, and so its firmware will prevent it flying higher than 400' agl. However, what worries me is low-flying military helicopters in open countryside, because they can close on the a drone very quickly with just a few seconds' warning. So... a video on that would be useful too.
Simple answer……..don’t

No less dangerous than birds flying into jet aircraft. It's putting people's lives in jeopardy. Simple answer is don't.
Cool
Pity that an air traffic controller mumbles.
Get your hearing aid fixed old person.
Just ignore it like everyone else. The airspace above military bases isn’t controlled.
