Yeah, I think this guy shot at me in Los Angeles in 2006. It hurt and I sizzled. Of course they know who this is. I think he shoots at people too. That’s effing dangerous.

A drone is so boring and obvious. Bring back Lawnchair Larry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawnchair_Larry_flight

The ATC dialogue has made my day. Too funny!

I landed at LAX at approx. 07:20PM PDT on Monday night aboard DL 317 and noticed something that appeared to be a drone (definitely didn't look like a man) along the port side of the aircraft as we approached the airport. Around the Sofi stadium area. Crazy (dangerous) to see these things going on within such close proximity of a major airport. Wonder if what I saw was perhaps "practice" for this stunt?

It’s a drone, it’s always been a drone. Lifting an adult human weight to 3,000 ft with a jetpack isn’t a thing. Still dangerous to be flying it around LAX.
