Interesting question. Never thought of using a drone that way, but I could (with caution, while there's no aircraft activity, as I'm right on the edge of an exclusion zone for the local arport and can't fly when there's aircraft active.

Wouldn't use the drone I have for that, it's too prone to internal interference, but the next one I'm getting may be suitable.
