When the Turkish journalists came looking for it, they found the man holding the drone in his hands and he jokingly asked them "do you have a larger one that can take me to Hajj".

The moral of the story: when Allah calls upon you to come to Makkah, He will use whatever and whoever to make your journey possible.
