It was therefore 1 A380 from Emirates, 1 A380 from Etihad, 1 A320 from Air Arabia, 1 Boeing 737 MAX and the national acrobatic patrol that formed an exceptional flight over Dubai, near Palm Island in particular.
During this training, the various aircraft had to be flown with great care. In addition to the aesthetic balance of flight, the turbulence created by a super-jumbo jet such as the A380 can be very dangerous for other aircraft. Thus, each aircraft maintained a gap of 300 feet, with the Boeing 737 MAX 8 positioned the lowest at 1000 feet, with a speed of 210 knots.
