Here’s what it’s like to fly over Dubai with a jetpack
Dubai already seems pretty futuristic on the ground, but what’s it like in the air? As you’ll soon see, it’s almost like another planet. Yves Rossy (aka Jetman) and “protégé” Vince Reffet recently flew over the extravagant city in jetpacks, and their view was every bit as strange as you’d expect. The Burj Khalifa tower (above) resembles a sci-fi super weapon, while the artificial Palm Jumeirah archipelago sticks out from the coastline like a sore thumb. Will this airborne sightseeing trip get you booking a flight to the United Arab Emirates? Probably not, but it’s worth a look if you’re wondering what a ton of oil money will do to a desert landscape.
