Video: Jet Pilots Fly beside an Emirates A380 Aircraft

The sky’s the limit… or so they say, but not for these two outstanding jet pilots, who, yet again, return for another challenge organized by Jetman Dubai. This time, it is to fly alongside the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the Emirates A380 Plane.

The brilliant aerial performance as shown in this video features experienced Jetman pilots Yves Rossy and Vince Reffet, where the two are seen hovering above  and alongside one of the world’s largest passenger aircrafts, as they course over Palm Jumeirah for a piece of an up-close view of the Dubai skyline.

Here is a YouTube video clip of two jet pilots flying alongside an Emirates A380 Aircraft:

Jet Pilots Fly alongside an Emirates A380 Aircraft

And while this feat is not quite exactly the same as flying through tall buildings on a jet pack, one could only but wonder how challenging it must have been to fly beside a moving aircraft with engines blasting at maximum power, some thousands of feet above the ground.

Whatever is at stake on this death-defying stunt, surely: it is not for the faint of heart. The plane pilots together with Rossy and Reffet, must fly their engines with exact precision and distance from each other so as not to cause a collision in mid-air (because that is clearly not what everybody signed up for). Needless to say, in order to pull off this outrageous stunt, maximum planning and coordination must be perfectly executed.

And after they successfully do, it’s very reassuring to know that these aircraft pilots are always on top of their game to give us, their passengers, a world-class flight experience, even as they do it to pull off yet another insane stunt such as this. Other than the flight experience, there’re also plenty of things to look forward to from the new services offered by the Emirates A380 Hub which include a wide array of shops, dining outlets, as well as world-class lounges. Indeed, it is this type of first-class facilities that put an airline service such as the growing fleet of Emirates A380s rightfully on top of the world.

See for yourself and tell us how you felt as you were watching the aerial stunt unfold right before your eyes by writing a comment on the section below.

The Gold Souk in Deira is one of the most visited attractions in Dubai. The emirate is known as the City of Gold and when you explore the gold market, you will definitely understand why the term was coined. You can find various gold pieces and jewelry and plenty of tourists come here to purchase gold here.

Check out this short video clip showcasing the hundreds of gold shops in the Deira Gold Market. This is a humble video I made giving you a quick glimpse of what to expect when you visit this Dubai attraction.

Gold Souk Video: Dubai is the City of Gold

The gold market is a remarkable place because you will find the biggest gold ring here, gold dresses and accessories that are really outrageous for their size and style.  See the full video below:

The great thing is that this is also good place to purchase because the quality and the price is better. The price would depend on the gold rate which is evidently displayed in the area. Since there are plenty of shops selling gold, you can find your way to a good bargain (so long as the price is fair to both parties).

I plan to visit the market again and capture a better video to post here soon. I hope the clip will give you a better idea and glimpse when you finally visit this part of the emirate.
