In the starting the video looks as if it
is an advertisement for the world’s largest passenger plane. But after
20 seconds Rossy and Reffet appear above the jets wings.The pair were
deployed from a helicopter. The helicopter above the aircraft at 5,500
feet. And before joining on one side and then breaking away, they
conducted formations on both sides of the aircraft. Their flight suits
were made by Jet man custom and it weighted almost 55 kg and have a wing
span of two meters. They flew over the likes of the Palm Jumeirah, the
Dubai skyline and the Burj Khalifa.
Rossy said, ‘I come from a background of piloting commercial aircraft and it was always a dream to fly without the constraints of being inside a cockpit. Vince and I are thrilled to partner with Emirates and would like to thank them for helping us turn yet another dream into reality. It was absolutely surreal flying alongside the biggest aircraft there is and we felt like mosquitoes beside a gigantic eagle.’
On the other hand Vince Reffet said,
‘This is yet another historic flight for the Jetman Dubai team and we
are so happy and thankful to be part of something this incredible. 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. It is incredibly humbling to be a part of what is such a
significant achievement for Dubai and the Jetman team. Adel Al Redha,
Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer for Emirates said:
‘This display between man and machine celebrates the magic and beauty
of flight, a feat which just over a hundred years ago would have seemed
an impossible dream. It also showcases how far human vision and ambition
has, and can continue to push aviation’s boundaries. A spectacular
formation flight like this is unprecedented, but as with all of
Emirates’ operations, every aspect was painstakingly evaluated and
practiced in our simulators to address all possible contingencies.’Rossy said, ‘I come from a background of piloting commercial aircraft and it was always a dream to fly without the constraints of being inside a cockpit. Vince and I are thrilled to partner with Emirates and would like to thank them for helping us turn yet another dream into reality.
