That's bad ass...looks like total fun!!

It would be more believable if you had seen some footage of them from the airplane.... I personally don't believe all of it is real, I have no doubt they might have buzzed past a slow flying A380 (or an A380 passed them slowly, but I really doubt that they flew along with it and hung with it at all, for several reasons. One, the minimum speed of a clean A380 is in the vicinity of 300kph (190 mph) and I doubt a human being in prone position could maintain the position at 190 mph for very long without relaxing and folding up.... two, the jetmen only have a few minutes of fuel per flight.... Three.... The air disruption and vortex behind the wingtips and wings of an A380 trying to go slow, flapless, would be so violent that if one of the jetmen had entered a vortex, he would have been minced meat falling to the ground.... five.... Airbus would never have signed off on a stunt like that because the aircraft is so valuable and insurance so high.

I doubt any helicopters could keep up with an A380 to film it.... so it would have been some footage of an A380 taken from another airliner, then the footage of the jetmen added by computer to make a neat add.... that looks really cool ....

so my vote is fake.... but awesome

Actually, maybe not? I found this and it shows the airbus has plenty of flaps out and the jetmen can actually fly up to 120mph..... so an empty A380 might be able to slow down to 120mph in a straight line on a clear day....

So, there may be more real footage than I thought, and I guess a decent helo that dropped them off could do 110 kts to film....

Insurance? I forgot how much cash they have in Dubai

So, I'll just shut the phuck up

empty low fuel load-good camera angles yep it's real a real slow turn with the wing suit guys tight on the inside


that 380 was still faster by a pinch you could see the fly bug guys slowly being over taken in most of the shots
