The aviators met in the skies above Bex, near Geneva, Switzerland, as part of a celebration of the history of aviation.
Built during World War II, the Spitfire gives a more comfortable, and much longer ride. The Jetwing can stay up for only 13 minutes.

‘Since my technology is getting more and more reliable I am very confident about these flights. I can relax and enjoy such a fantastic experience.
'Under my wing I am free. I have the perfect view.’
