Watch 3 guys strapped to jetpacks fly in formation with French jets
Little more than one year ago, Jetman Dubai flew in formation with an Airbus A380 over Dubai during a special publicity event organised by Emirates Airlines.
In October 2016, the three jetpack-equipped pilots formed up with the 8 Alpha Jets of the Patrouille de France, the French Air Force aerobatic display team and flew together at an altitude of 4,000 ft (1,200 m) and a speed of 140 knots (260 km/h).
Although it may seem an easy or random task, such formation flying requires much preparation in order to reduce turbulence and consequent instability.
Below you can watch the rather unusual men-aircraft formation.
