Airline Pilots Landing At LAX Report "A Guy In Jetpack" Flying Alongside Them
As if 2020 couldn't get any weirder, airline pilots landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on Sunday, August 30th, reported seeing "a guy in a jetpack" flying about 300 yards off their wing while on final approach to the bustling airport. What makes the reports even stranger is that, like a scene out of The Rocketeer, the airliners were descending through 3,000 feet when jetpack guy showed up next to them. Fox 11 broke the story and has the air traffic control audio… (www.thedrive.com) More...It probably is Amazon's new drone delivery.
WOW, the first midair collision is going to be messy!
To put it the way an Englishman would say it.... "It would be a Bloody Mess"
Completely inadvertent flight. The guy pressed “Start” and the next thing he knew he was on final al LAX (though apparently left of glide slope and out of sequence). Hey, stuff happens.
Southwest reported it and mentioned "and he has a gun"
