Breathtaking footage shows a man in a specially designed jet suit matching the speed of an Airbus A380 in the skies above Dubai.
The incredible feat was filmed back in 2015 and featured Jetman Dubai flying alongside an Emirates Airbus A380.
One of the Jetman Dubai team, the late Vincent Reffet, donned a Kevlar jet suit and was able to match the pace of the A380.
As you might imagine, pulling off such a stunt required intensive levels of preparation, but the end result speaks for itself.
