      I saw that story earlier today.

      3000 feet AGL in a jet pack? Really?

      C'mon man!

            This very well may be the greatest thing to have happened this year.

              This very well may be the greatest thing to have happened this year.

              And TWO pilots saw it:

              https://heavy.com/news/2020/09/jetpack-guy/

              Much like a scene out of a Tom-cruise action movie, the pilot expressed over radio, “Tower, American 1997, we just passed a guy in a jetpack,” the outlet said.

              A Skywest pilot then confirmed the AA pilot’s claims, reporting a man in a jetpack near his plane, ABC reported.

              “We just saw the guy passing by us in the jetpack,” the SkyWest pilot told controllers, the outlet indicated.

              Other aircraft were then “immediately warned to use caution,” ABC said.

                  It would take some serious balls to fly one of those up to 3,000 feet. I wonder if it was some kind of disguised drone.

                    Is 3000 feet that much worse than 500 feet? I've got to think that after a certain point, it doesn't make a difference anymore...

                        Another: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/another-jetpack-reported-thousands-feet-above-los-angeles-n1243487?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma

                        Someone in a jetpack was reportedly seen flying high above Los Angeles — again.

                        The apparent sighting, about 1:45 p.m. Wednesday, was noted by a China Airlines crew at an altitude of approximately 6,000 feet, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.

                        The unidentified person was about seven miles northwest of the airport, according to the statement, which added that local law enforcement will investigate the report.

                        In a separate statement, a spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Los Angeles field office said that there were "multiple reports" of the sighting, but she did not provide additional details.

                        The sighting was the second in two months. On Aug. 30, two pilots on two different flights reported seeing someone in a jetpack near Los Angeles International Airport.

                            Sure as hell looks like a guy not a drone.
