Scared of flying? Look away now as stomach-churning videos show Boeing Dreamliner and Airbus pilots pull mid-air stunts – including a near VERTICAL climb
The amazing feats were caught on camera at the Farnborough Airshow
IF the thought of jetting off on holiday fills you with dread, you'll probably need to watch these videos through your fingers.
Yes, not one but TWO stomach-churning films of pilots pulling off seemingly death-defying stunts in passenger planes are doing the rounds. Be warned, these are not for the faint-hearted.
First up is the above footage of Boeing's 787-9 Dreamliner.
To refresh your memories, this plane is 206 feet long and has room for over 200 passengers.
So we're not talking about some dinky little jet, this is a proper commercial plane - making the astounding display even more mind-blowing.
It was captured on camera at the Farnborough Airshow in Hampshire, England, this week, with the Dreamliner seen zooming into the air in an almost vertical take-off.
Next it's seen soaring through the air, rocking from side to side as it banks left and right.
You'd need a pretty strong stomach to handle these moves, that's for sure.

Part way through the pilot lulls you into thinking the plans is about to land - but just as it almost touches down the Dreamliner zooms back into the air.
As if that wasn't harrowing enough for the nervous flyers out there, how about this footage of an Airbus A350 making another pretty much vertical take-off?
This is another mammoth plane which can seat a whopping 325 passengers and has a wing span of 64.75 metres.
Once again the video was taken at the Farnborough Airshow, with the tricks aimed at showing how much the plane is capable of.
"For passenger comfort the take off is normally much less steep with no dramatic turns," plane enthusiast Colin Porteous, 63 and who shot the video, explained.
"The aircraft performed a touch and go landing back at farnborough after validation, but then departed to Toulouse in France.
"I suspect there would be a modest increase in G-force for the pilot."
