New Delhi: In an incredible sight, two men wearing jetpacks raced a plane through the sky as it flew over Dubai.
The two men named Yves Rossy and Vince Reffet were filmed soaring through the air alongside the Emirates A380 plane at about 4,000 feet
The stunt was performed to promote the airline's double-decker aircraft which flies to 34 different destinations from Dubai.
For the stunt, a helicopter, carrying the stuntmen, was sent to hover over the plane at 5,500 feet. Rossy and Reffet then jumped from the chopper and made formations before finally fading away.
"It was absolutely surreal flying alongside the biggest aircraft there is and we felt like mosquitos beside a gigantic eagle,” Rossy said on the occasion.
Revealing the secret of their flawless performance, Reffet said, "We spent a long time preparing, going over every tiny detail in the quest for perfecting our first formation flight with the Emirates A380 aircraft."
