Two daredevils with jetpacks soaring above Dubai skyscrapers at 125mph
Swiss pilot Yves Rossy, known as Jetman, and his French colleague Vine Reffett took to skies over Dubai
These stunning pictures show the moment two daredevils with jetpacks soared above the skyscrapers of Dubai - at speeds of up to 125mph.
Former Swiss fighter pilot Yves Rossy, known as the Jetman, and his French protege Vince Reffett were filmed performing heart-stopping manoeuvres in the skies above the dazzling United Arab Emirates city.
The two aviation enthusiasts can be seen zooming over some of the city's most famous landmarks including the giant Burj Khalifa skyscraper - the world's tallest man-made structure.

December, he was filmed 5,000 feet above the Dubai desert at speeds of up to 120mph in an incredible formation flight with aerobatics champion Veres Zoltán.

Is it a bird? It is not the first time Rossy has taken to the skies with his jet-powered wings to showcase some incredible aerial gymnastics
At the time, a spokesman for Jetman told MailOnline that the video was an appetiser for 'something bigger and louder' in 2015 - but refused to reveal any more than that.
According to his website, he became the first and only man in the history of aviation to fly with a jet-propelled wing in 2006.
Rossy was first a military pilot and then worked as a captain on commercial flights. His website said he 'has always dedicated all his free time to flight and experimented with all its forms', creating a harness with inflatable wing panels that he subsequently developed into a rigid wing with four engines.
He has completed flights over the Swiss Alps - including Lake Geneva in 2002 - and, in 2008, he crossed the English Channel in the flight path of Louis Blériot.
In the commentary for the stunning video they describe Dubai as being like their 'crazy playground'
