This formation flight video looks fake, right?

Have you seen the video going around tick-tock and Twitter yesterday? Two airliners flying nose to tail in formation over a soccer stadium in South Africa?
It looks fake, right?

The perspective seems about right. They seem a little low but that could be an illusion because of the size of the aircraft. The trailing plane seems to be higher. It might be fake but I think it is probably real.

If it's real, I'd be worried about the second one flying through his jet wash, entering a flat spin and heading out to sea.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s real. Seems like FlySafair does a lot of flybys over Ellis Park Stadium.

Probably a photography trick from a camera on a tripod, and combining the two videos / photos... Pretty easy to do, I think.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's real. They do stuff like that in South Africa.
