Whenever the Tom de Dorlodot and Horacio Llorens dream team comes together, magic usually happens. For more than 15 years the pair have been flying together all over the world, brothers in the sky.

Their latest project with the photographer Marc Marco is no exception, resulting in these incredible night-time shots of the pair flying over the 4,500-year-old pyramids of Egypt last October.
