Well, no, not really.
Some of the higher end units offer range "up to 2 miles" between the controller and the aircraft, but, remember, that's a radius.
So you can't be 2 miles up and 2 miles away.
If it was, in fact, a drone, we're probably looking at something modified by a knowledgeable individual for greater range.
(As in optimize the antennae in both the controller and the craft, find all the wobbly grounds in the craft and correct them, and perhaps add a ground plane to the controller. The last part would be inconvenient to drag around.)
But why the f*ck someone that smart would fly into commercial airspace is beyond me.
Unless...
