Hello Everybody,

Pilots report mysterious man with jetpack flying near planes

Source: ABC News

There is a mystery unfolding in Los Angeles. It wasn’t Buzz Lightyear
or Robert Downey Jr. in "Iron Man," but pilots landing at Los Angeles
International Airport on Sunday evening reported seeing a man wearing
a jetpack flying near their planes.

"Tower, American 1997, we just passed a guy in a jetpack," the American
Airlines pilot radioed to air traffic control, according to recordings
by LiveATC.net.

The pilot said the man was flying with a jetpack at 3,000 feet and only
about 300 yards away from the plane, Airbus A321.

Shortly after that, another pilot reported that he, too, saw a man in a
jetpack flying near their plane.

Maybe it was George Jetson. Or his boy Elroy.
Could have been The Rocketeer.
Or even one of Trump's Space Force Cadets.

I wonder if this flying man has enough fuel to cross the ocean?
Or at least go coast-to-coast? No need to buy a ticket to fly on
an airplane when one has his own personal jetpack. I wonder if
he had a license to fly?
