Extraordinary flying

By Wed Nov 4, 2015

Yves Rossy and Vincent Reffet from Jetman Dubai have just done it again with a spectacular flight with an Emirates A380 over the UAE city.

The formation was conducted over the Palm Jumeirah and Dubai skyline.

The unique stunt (see below) was only done after meticulous planning and collaboration.

According to Emirates 24/7 “the carefully choreographed aerial formation involved the world's largest passenger aircraft flying at 4000 feet in a two holding patterns.”

The A380 aircraft was then joined by the Jetman Dubai duo, experienced pilots and operators of the smallest jet propelled wing, who were deployed from a helicopter that hovered above the aircraft at 5000 feet.

The duo conducted formations on both sides of the aircraft and joined to one side thereafter before breaking away.
