History was made once again yesterday as two men joined hands to form the first ever human formation aided by jet propelled wings.

As the sun was about to set on the horizon, pilot Yves Rossy, popularly known as Jetman Dubai, was joined by another adventurer Vince Reffet.

Two started off the stunts in the evening across the desert in Dubai and then into the city flying past Burj Khalifa and Palm Jumeirah.

“We mark a new milestone in the chapter of human flight. Join Jetman Yves Rossy and his protege, Jetman Vince Reffet as they explore the limits in the city of dreams,” read the new post on the Jetman Dubai`s Facebook page.

Check out this 11 minute video that was posted by X Dubai that has joined hands with Rossy in exploring the limits of human flught.

“The future of human flight is clear. Jetman Duabi has found his wingman – now watch them conquer the sky,` reads the description attached to the video.

The initiative was first started off by the 55 year old fighter pilot Yves Rossy who fitted himself with carbon-fibre jet-propelled wing and fuelled by four kerosene engines.

Currently he can fly upto 55km and jumps from a helicopter and lands using a parachute.
