The flying mannequin is back to LAX

“Jetpack Man” Spotted Again By Pilots On Approach To LAX Nearly A Year After First Sighting
The latest occurrence, which was first reported by ABC7, happened at around 6:15 PM this evening in its most usual spot, right off the final approach to LAX. The ATC audio was quite lively following the spotting, although it is bizarre how much more familiar the situation seemed than it did a year ago. The exchanges include asking if the pilots saw “the UFO” and what appears to be a new trend of referring to LA’s mystery Jetpack Man as “Iron Man.” You can also tell the pilot who called it in, a 747 pilot, knew he had to, but really didn’t seem too excited about the circus that would go with it.

The Drive/War Zone

They see this thing at 5000 feet? Nobody ever gets close? There are no jetpaks that can get that high from the ground and back. Even so it’s a huge mess in the LAX pattern.
