Jetpacks are, as a concept, amazing. Well it turns out that in real life they're just as impressive, especially if you throw a stunt plane into the mix.

Of course to fly a jetpack next to a stunt plane you're going to need a pilot who's either incredibly stupid or incredibly talented and in this instance they had the latter.

Guinness Book of Records holder Yves Rossy is that pilot and can currently be found flying over Dubai as part of Jetman Dubai.
