Last time we saw Swiss ex-fighter pilot Yves Rossy -- also known as Jetman -- in action, it was impressive, but it turns out it was just a prelude for the real thing.

Rossy and his protege, parachuter Vince Reffet, have now completely mastered flying in formation and other tricks that can be performed with their jet-propelled wings. In a new video, published on YouTube Monday, the duo shows off their skills above the Dubai skyline, and it's truly breathtaking.

The 12-minute video is beautifully shot, showing the Jetman Dubai team, as the duo is officially called, perform a variety of tricks while flying over a desert. In the second half of the video, the desert canvas is replaced by the many skyscrapers of Dubai, including the world's tallest building, the 2716-feet Burj Khalifa.

The video is available in 4K resolution, so if your monitor supports it, make sure you choose that one -- your eyes will thank you.
