Behind the Scenes in Dubai RedBull Airplane Event - Unseen Footage 

Mike, you will never know how much your videos mean to an 88 year old pilot who can no longer fly or walk. Thank you so much for letting me share your life.❤

In a world that has so many problems and constant negativity, this man shows us the most of human achievement every time! Thank you for all you do Mike.

I had the privilege of finishing the last 2.5 ears of my 34-yr airline career in the left seat of a B777-300ER, flying it to 5 continents. I hope you enjoyed your ride in it. The Dubai helipad landing was amazing. So many people came together to make this happen. But, I think it happened because of what was donee in Spanish Fork.

Watching your builds and content has forced me to re-evaluate and improve my own performance.Thanks for the motivation.

Oh man... Thanks for the short clip of the inside of the Dubai Airport... I forgot how nice it is in there. Been ages since I visited Dubai.

As I watched the video and the attention to preparation detail, I still forgot for a minute who I was watching, and thought trying this seems totally crazy to me. But, then my focus came back and I lol, since I know after watching Mike for years that if it is possible to try something in aviation Mike has already explored all the parameters for the safest outcome, or to even attempt it. The videography was amazing with everything focused on the plane!

Just thinking about flying transatlantic, taking my seat and recognizing Mike beside me taking the same flight would be a mad experience. ❤

Been watching every one of your vids since the Draco build series. Unbelievable. You are an incredible human.

I've been to Dubai about a dozen times. The UAE is an extremely wealthy country. They import most of their labor force. Here's the smart thing they do. "Foreigners are allow to live in the UAE only when they are working." When they retire or just stop working...they must exit the country. What a fantastic way to solve your labor issues...and you are not filling up your country with retired laborers...FANTASTIC!

....G'day Mike, at 81 now, I learned long ago nothing is impossible, it's all about the "HOW?". Cheers, Malcolm.

WOW - that was intense!!

I don't think you realize how much inspiration you create for the aviation enthusiasts in the world. Thank you for incredible content and may you always have blue skies and soft landings💪🏻💪🏻

That was breathtaking!

Wow, that was awesome… Mike, I never built an aeroplane like you do but sure I drew lots of them in kinder garden. I fell in love with aviation since I was a little boy. To watch you building them gives me much satisfaction. Thank you.

This will go down as one of the greatest aviation stunts ever performed. And to think the genesis of this all happened in my back yard is pretty darn cool!

Awesome! Just simply awesome.

This leaves me almost speechless and moved to tears!! Congratulations Mike and everyone else. 👏🎉👏🎉

Excellent stuff bro

The white shirt 👕 is awesome

Absolutely mind boggling!! Congrats to everyone!!

Some great footage. What a clean nice looking city.

Congratulations to all the Team ! ! Great stuff 😎🤙

What an amazing achievement. Inspiring.

Great job mike and all the crew.

Wow. Fantastic effort. Congratulations to you all

Outstanding Mike

You took and made a very complex stunt look almost effortless! I think some will look at this and think, "Well that looks simple and easy enough to do!" Amazing team effort for sure! Another shining moment for aviation!

Dang! That was freakin awesome!

Mike, Always a great show! Congratulations buddy!

Amazing event! This video does a good job of covering it. Thanks!

What a cool experience you guys had!!!

The greatest hands on the planet! No1 !

Wow that is a long flight!

This channel needs a Netflix series

I love your podcast! You are one brave man.

All I can say is....WOW!!

Simply mind blowing. Pity there was no camera coverage from the beach upwards...awwe please....do it again

Heavy d sparks could do with a Collab for a house landslide problem in Utah. Your engineering know how in construction would help no doubt . 👍👍

I think I like the "Unseen Footage" better than the "Event" itself 🤔👍👍👍......AND........ The view is to die for😰.

That was SICK

Great job brother I’m proud of you

Thanks Mike, for a few more of the details that brought this AMAZING idea into reality ! ! ! YOU SIR, just might be, The "LAST WORD" in the world of aviation ! .... BUT.... One surely has to give that Red Bull pilot ( Luke?) A BOAT LOAD of credit for having the GUTS to even attempt it ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

If Mikey Patey can't do it, it likely can't be done. Your engineering is amazing!

Great video !

What an amazing and successful challenge! Glad to see you and the Mrs. take the tandem skydive plunge too. Hit me up if you decide you want to pursue the sport, I have an awesome new rig that would be perfect for you!

I have had the pleasure of having drinks in the bar at the top of the Burj Al Arab, which makes this extraordinary feat all that much more special to me. What an incredible piece of engineering and flying. Hat tip to all who were involved. Well done, sir! As always, thanks much for sharing the remarkable accomplishment. Steve

Good morning from Minnesota! Great episode!!

LOVE IT . AWESOME, Congratulations

Thanks for posting

Good idea to add the extension slope around the ring because at the 13:45 time stamp you can see the wheels touch on the extension part instead of the pad. I'm sure it was planned to use the extra surface, but dang that's cutting it close. GREAT JOB!

Absolutely amazing, Brother Patey 👍🏼

One plane flying 🎉

Just stomach dropping hard to watch well done to all of the team

Yep, pretty awsome achievement and something to be proud off. Glad your talents were appreciated and very helpful.

Cool, ein Teil und mit soviel Erfahrung dabei gewesen zu sein

Absolutely incredible Houston.

Just awesome! You have shown us the best and you continue to amaze us all the time. Thank you

Very nice episode

I loved the excessive drop off at the end into a barrel roll :o)

Back to work!!! Incredible achievement of course. it's almost like you guys can do anything. The word Inspiration doesn't even do justice. Great health to you and yours.

You are one epic human @Mike Patey

You are inspiration. THANKS

Just started following you after watching the ripsaw delivery by gentry and sons Nice going that man.

Mike, You are amazing. What do you have for us next?? ❤❤❤❤

I don’t know how you took this on with your schedule, but I’m so glad that you took us all along for this once in a lifetime opportunity! 😎👍

Pretty cool you cobbled together airplane parts to bend the control stick. Good use of twin otter landing gear pucks. MacGyvered it to get it done.

Nice pictures

That was AWESOME...

This guy is amazing!!!!

I'm another older pilot who no longer flies but loves your videos. Have you considered a toroidal propeller for Scrappy?

I love this video sooooooo much!!!❤❤❤

That was amazing!!!!

fantastic.job

Thank you Mike for living my dream! OMG please be careful we need you your wife and brother and his wife 🥰

AWESOME!

Super smashing great as we say in the UK.🛩

Incredible!!!! 🤜 🤛

Good job man.

Mike amazing flying! Luke was unreal but I will never fly with him at the controls.

I saw at the end of the video.

Science needs to put your brain on ice(cryogenically ) so we could have it for the future. GREAT JOB IN ALL U DO.

I tried this a couple times in Microsoft flight sim with a carbon cub, taking off from skydive Dubai, and penciled it in both times 😂

The way you confirm information with your wife is cute! I bet you get to be a total baby sometimes around her when it's just ya'll two 😂😂💀

Hell yeah!

If you want to keep weight down and back, why doesn't the pillot fly from the back seat?

Epic!

Hey Mike, where can we get the back to work shirt that Luke was wearing?

Big upppp Mike.👊👍

I did this trick in gta lol. the take off from the roof should have had more attention!

It finally happened, a life long dream of owning an airplane. I received this model (C 023 ) beechcraft. Just about everyone I meat says I'm not writing. Beginning to think they are right, this no fear of life I have, must be all goodness for I'm still here. I'll have this plane ready in a few months. Life is too short. I don't have the time or money to get a pilot license, so I won't get one, so I'll get it ready to roll down the road, (road ) because no one will let me use a runway. I always have to do it my way, if I cut weight off of it and just assume it's an ultra-light, I don't have a way to weigh it, so I'll go with ignorance of bliss. Mike, you and your brother Mark inspire me. My new burgundy and white beechcraft, ( new to me ) I was told it will never be air Worthy, I was laughing inside saying yeah right. I will get it to roll, I'm sure it will be fine. I just wanted to thank you and Mark you inspire so many to fly, wish I could send pictures so you can see it, maybe you too well say I'm not right also. Living a life with disabilities and no fear with nobody to monitor me is amazing. I hope you understand why I do as I please. I believe everyone should be able to live some of their dreams. Hopefully this life long dream to fly of mine comes true. If I get this beechcraft to go down the road I'll be happy. I will do my best to keep it as close to the ground as possible. Maybe one day you can look down from above and see me enjoying some of my dreams to fly. As smart as you and your brother are you too might have ideas on how to get this beechcraft of mine flying high up in the air, instead of staying as close to the ground as possible for safety. The last thing I ever would want is to harm a fellow human. I will always keep the safety of others in my thoughts. Thanks for reading.

9:13 Sun shades on the refueling equipment ? Wow

How long before Cleetus is landing on this roof?

Amazing! Just for curioity I would like to know the budget allocated by Redbull for such a project!🙂

This got my anxiety going. But vary cool stunt.

12:14 No maneuvering room and we still get a post-landing burnout.

How did you get your hands on a Cizeta press?

Isnt that 7 star hotel where they shot couppe commercials. I belive ive seen itone tenis rally and also one whe a f1 car puts a donut on that helipad

did you let luke fly the turbolence?

Wonder what the fee was for landing that chopper on the helipad.

Beautifully interesting But ? Safety is the FIRST! 6:26 where Protective safety goggles?
