Let me re-phrase that. Military personnel are not allowed these
communications. Military aircraft being flown on non-military missions are
normally piloted by civilians. For example, once at Hooks airport there were
several Osprey aircraft that landed. These planes were being delivered to a
military base.
One key point that the YouTube story is fake is that an SR-71 landed at an air
show. If you learn more about this particular plane, you will find that it
leaks fuel on the flight line, which requires special support. Plus, a special
starter is required to get the engines fired up. At Beale, each plane was
assigned a ground support team of about 200 people for support. This is why
the SR-71 was stationed at only one air base in the USA.
I learned this from a publication provided by the USAF National Museum, of
which I am a Friends member.

Not at all true. Military aircraft talk to the same air traffic controllers as
everybody else does. There's no other way to integrate them in to the stream
of air traffic, and military aircraft use civil airports all the time.
