WATCH: Two men wearing jetpacks fly alongside a jumbo jet in the skies over Dubai

Jetman Dubai pilots Yves Rossy and Vince Reffet took to the skies over Dubai to fly alongside the Emirates A380 - the world’s largest passenger aircraft - at 4000 feet, reaching speeds of 170 knots.

From Jetman Dubai:

"The carefully choreographed aerial showcase involved the world’s largest passenger aircraft flying at 4,000 feet in 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 5,500 feet. The duo conducted formations on both sides of the aircraft and joined to one side thereafter before breaking away."
