I think people severely underestimate how bad people don't want to deal with downtown LA traffic

[bakfixx]

The "anti-DB Cooper" trying to get back on a plane.

> $300k military grade jetpack

> Actually $30k worth of R/C jet engines ganged together on a frame.

[gss]

Love how the pilots casually like "Okay we're looking for Iron Man 😂"

[AlKaseltzer]

COVID lockdown, rc parts, tons of spare time, boredom, sounds like a fun project to pass the time.

The altitutude is the amazing thing. And flying out over the ocean at 6000 ft is crazy.
You'd have to have so much faith in your equiptment to feel safe at those altitudes.

[mikescholz]

I think people are severely underestimating what a bored and talented hobbyist engineer is capable of in their spare time.

[trentvlak]

I like how ATC didn't even question the first pilot's assessment, just took him seriously 100%.

[ericbruscoe]

The pilots seem to love this guy .😂😂 . It's funny that all the sightings are at like 6:30 p.m. most people get home from work, eat some dinner, watch a little TV. This guy takes his jetpack for a ride. Gotta love it 😁

[Corneliusfiddleworth]

Casually chilling in a homemade jet pack at 5000 feet is absolutely absurd

[dandelionveins]

The casual way they use his nickname over the radio made me giggle. Thanks for including the audio snips of those! You always delve into tangential information concisely and YES I didn’t know I wanted the history of jetpack tech but I DID👍🏻

[kelteckin]

He should of known going over the airport would be 5 stars immediately

[IrobertHD]

actually the engines used by all the shown jetpacks are commercialy available jet engines for RC planes. so if this is a jetpack then it could be home build.

[TheFredFarkle]

What a Story!! Perhaps he (or she) stays close to LAX because the noise of taking off would be drowned out by Jet Aircraft.

[buildingracingvideos]

"I don't know why he flys so close to the airport."
"Nobody has reported hearing it"🤣🤣🤣

[Staubsaugaer]

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I LOVE the inclusion of exact source videos in your own project. It's so clear to read, great for context and doesn't get in the way.

[Squat_House]

He's just a regular guy that wanted to buy one his whole life but wasn't allowed...
So he built his own

[clarewoodrow]

This is one of the most fascinating stories I’ve come across… how the pilot said he’s just seen a jetpack and it didn’t seem to faze him one bit :’)

[vladpootin]

It is the guy from the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics that stunned the world during the opening ceremony, when many people all over the world saw this technology for the very first time in their lives and looked in sheer awe as he flew into the LA Memorial Coliseum and landed with pinpoint accuracy.

He is just staying in shape and practicing for 2028, when the Olympics return to Los Angeles 🇺🇸😎👍🏻

[Sage-Thyme]

I think if movies have taught us anything the only reasonable course of action of whoever is perpetuating this is to hold a press conference and state unequivocally that they are Ironman.
