, the mystery has deepened, with no definitive answer yet provided. However, as mind-boggling as that is, it actually isn't the first time we've seen a jetpack and an airplane sharing the skies.
On November 5, 2015, the United Arab Emirates saw an extraordinary formation flight take place: the Emirates Airbus A380 and the brave Jetman Dubai duo, experienced pilots and operators of the smallest jet-propelled wing, took to the skies of Dubai to demonstrate just how far aviation has come. The A380 flew in two holding patterns at 4,000 feet in a meticulously choreographed aerial display, and then it was joined by the Jetman Dubai duo, who were deployed from a helicopter hovering at 5,500 feet above the aircraft, according toThe duo performed dazzling formations on both sides of the aircraft before joining on one side and breaking away with the Dubai skyline and the Burj Khalifa in the background.
The stark contrasts provided by the double-decker behemoth, the tiny humans, and the larger-than-life skyline may be too much for your heart to handle -- but don't worry, the display was carefully planned to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Emirates pilots, Flight Operation managers, and Air Traffic Controllers collaborated to plan the smallest details of the mission, taking into account air traffic, areas flown over, potential wind, and weather.
