It’s an incredible video that looks like it’s straight out of a ‘James Bond’ movie – two intrepid ‘jetmen’ flying in carefully choreographed formation with a huge Emirates A380.
Jetman Dubai pilots Yves Rossy and Vince Reffet took part in the amazing display, flying high above the Dubai skyline with the world’s largest passenger aircraft.

The display involved the A380 flying at 4,000 feet in two holding patterns. The daredevil duo, wearing jet propelled wings, deployed from a helicopter hovering above the aircraft at 5,500 feet before joining the plane. Rossy and Reffet performed formations on both sides of the aircraft and joined on one side before breaking away, according to Jetman Dubai.
Action sports specialist XDubai’s video of the event was published on YouTube Wednesday and has already been viewed more than 200,000 times.
