CNN has reached out to LAX for comment. There are no additional details at this time. CNN obtained the audio between air traffic control and American and JetBlue flight crews from the September 1 incident.
According to the communications, air traffic control warned a JetBlue flight to "use caution... person on a jet pack reported 300 yards south."After the plane acknowledged the instruction, the controller concluded with: "Only in LA."
