LAX Sightings Are Likely Not Real Jetpacks
Airline pilots claim to have spotted pilots flying in "jetpacks" at thousands of feet near LAX, but could that be possible?

Recent incidents where airline pilots arriving at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) claim to have spotted a “jetpack” are probably not actual individuals flying under the power of small jet engines attached to their bodies, according to JetPack Aviation founder David Mayman. The widely reported incidents occurred on August 30 and October 14. The former involved American Airlines and SkyWest Airlines flights at 3,000 feet, and the latter incident was reported by a China Airlines crew who claimed they saw a person flying a jetpack at 6,000 feet 6 nm northwest of LAX.
