'Person in jetpack' spotted flying again near LA airport

The new sighting on Wednesday was at 6,000ft (1,829m), seven miles from the airport, officials say.

This sounds rather like the improbable drone sightings racing alongside planes at high altitude.
From what I've seen it would be a brave man going that high if it was even possible in a suit as shown in BBC article
Or it could be aliens

No worries, it's just Tony Stark.

I think we'll be hearing a lot more about this as they become more popular and more affordable (tongue-in-cheek).

At 6000, that's gotta be a little chilly! However, it is LA.

For the aviation nerds...

This is the second report of a Jet Pack in the California area.

Here's the first.

That was an "interesting" convo from yesterday.

If nothing else this is a great example of why we don't need to be flying around airports or trying to talk on the radio with ATC.

So do you register yourself as a hobbyist, Part 107, or a regular avaition pilot?

My crazy neighbor plays around with Experimental toys and has a very loud screaming jet pack. He bought it from someone through Ebay years ago. I couldn't believe that it was legal to sell something like that...

My guess is: the recent sighting by an aircraft is actually a helium balloon.

Reduce your drone altitude to 400’

Where is video?

snapdog · Oct 16, 2020

Sorry, but just one still

Can't recall where it was taken.

Even though it's a curved helmet, the drone image in the helmet, and horizon angle doesn't seem to line up with what the camera should be viewing, fake?

Well, golly I must admit there may have been nefarious use of an editing tool in the making of this image
