Anyone with information should contact the FBI at 310 477-6565\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/en\/2020\/10\/copa-airlines-the-only-airline-in-the-region-that-goldman-sachs-recommends-buying-its-shares.html\">See also:<\/a><\/strong> Copa Airlines, the only airline in the region that Goldman Sachs recommends buying its shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month, officials said a person flying in a jet pack was spotted by pilots just west of the 710 Freeway in the Cudahy and South Gate areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some experts have said the object could have been a sophisticated drone. David Mayman, CEO of Jetpack Aviation said that it is unlikely these were actually people flying jetpacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow is it that nobody saw them take off and land? That\u2019s what I don\u2019t understand,\u201d he said. \u201cThese machines are pretty noisy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe would never fly very high without a parachute system,\u201d he said, adding \u201cAt 6,000 feet it would just take us too long. We\u2019d run out of fuel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Mayman said he suspects it may not have been a person flying a jetpack, he added that the industry is evolving so quickly that nothing can be ruled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top uagb-post__image-enabled
