The pilot of the tail wheeled-equipped airplane reported that, he was on
an approach to land at an uncontrolled airport behind two helicopters.
An airport surveillance video showed the accident airplane flying over
the runway about 20 seconds
It is really cool to see a Boeing or Airbus pass under you both out the
window and on ADS-B while flying through the departure path of an airport
(TUL in my case). Yes, I was under air traffic control - they told the
airliner to stay under 5000 ft till they were past me.

They can automate avoidance maneuvers with that data in the drone - I don't
trust human drone "pilots" to not hit me while I'm in the landing pattern.

A lot of military flight ops here due to the relatively quiet airport and

The youngest’s work is right under the final approach for 21, less than a mile
out from the threshold, so he
It's even more fun to be that traffic!

Youngest son likes to track flights, so I got him an ADS-B RaspberryPi receiver
from FlightAware. It came with a little base-loaded magnetic antenna that he
had stuck up in one of the skylights in his room, which limited the reception
somewhat.
Just put up a full blown ADS-B “stick” on the roof
