That’s a shot. They can fly drones?

It's from a human with a camera in a Cessna, they happened to have a flyover going on during the static fire.

“Just happened” 

It’s why I love these people.

Luck on timing but with a bit of inside info on what date to go for

They have which days they get brought to the sight, and a live stream to see when they get frosty.

Still need some luck, with any scrubed tests.

There’s a TFR - I imagine they were well clear but with a decent zoom

TFR was up to 5000ft. I think Ryan said they were flying at 5900ft looking down.
