Comment sections filled with the same question: was this CGI? AI? A green screen in a studio? It was none of those. The two artists genuinely flew in a MiGFlug L-39 over the Italian Alps, filming in the cockpit at altitude.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:10px 16px;margin:18px 0;border-radius:0 6px 6px 0\">&#127465;&#127466; <a href=\"#deutsch\"><strong>F&uuml;r die deutsche Version hier klicken<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f0f0f0;border-radius:8px;padding:18px 22px;margin:24px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;font-size:15px\">Quick Facts<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:18px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7\"><li><strong>Song:<\/strong> &ldquo;Requiem&rdquo; - Farid Bang feat.

Together they built one of the genre's best-known German album series, <em>Jung, brutal, gutaussehend<\/em> (JBG), and their on-and-off partnership has been followed by millions of fans for well over a decade.<\/p>\r\n<p>&ldquo;Requiem&rdquo; is their latest reunion. The track appears on Farid Bang's album <em>So muss man gehen<\/em>, was produced by Joznez, and its official video was directed by Benny030. On the song the pair look back on their shared history in the scene. We will leave the music itself for listeners to judge - our interest here is in how the video was made.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=877568041  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/kollegah-ready-l39-aosta.jpg\" alt=\"Kollegah is ready to go\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Kollegah is ready to go<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Not AI - a real L-39 flight<\/h2>\r\n<p>The moment the video dropped, a familiar debate started in the comments. The shots of the rappers in a fighter-style cockpit, alps sliding past the canopy, looked so crisp that many assumed they had been generated or composited. In an age of convincing AI video, the skepticism was understandable.<\/p>\r\n<p>But the cockpit scenes are real. Farid Bang and Kollegah each flew in an L-39 Albatros, filming their parts in the air. The behind-the-scenes footage - more on that below - shows the whole process, from the pre-flight briefing to the canopy closing and the jet lifting off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;margin:0 0 10px\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_IspNqK9udI\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:8px\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/div><p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin:0 0 24px;font-style:italic\">FARID BANG feat.

It seats two in tandem under a long glass canopy, which is exactly why it works so well on camera: the passenger in the back sits high, with an almost unobstructed view out of the cockpit. MiGFlug flies the type on adventure flights from Aosta in north-west Italy, tucked among some of the highest peaks in the Alps.<\/p>\r\n<p>Before any of the filming could happen, both artists went through the same routine every passenger does: a safety briefing, a fitting for the parachute and harness, and a walk-through of the cockpit with the pilot. Only then were the cameras mounted and the canopy closed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=693584020  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/farid-bang-jet-briefing-aosta.jpg\" alt=\"Farid Bang getting to learn about the jet before taking off\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Farid Bang getting to learn about the jet before taking off<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;Das war echt krass, das war schon geil.

Die Bilder der Rapper im Kampfjet-Cockpit, die Alpen hinter der Kanzel - alles wirkte so gestochen scharf, dass viele von KI oder Compositing ausgingen. In Zeiten t&auml;uschend echter KI-Videos war die Skepsis nachvollziehbar.<\/p>\r\n<p>Doch die Cockpit-Szenen sind echt. Farid Bang und Kollegah flogen jeweils in einer L-39 Albatros und drehten ihre Parts in der Luft. Das Making-of zeigt den gesamten Ablauf - vom Briefing &uuml;ber das Schlie&szlig;en der Kanzel bis zum Start.<\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Im Cockpit &uuml;ber Aosta<\/h2>\r\n<p>Das Flugzeug ist eine Aero L-39 Albatros, der in der Tschechoslowakei gebaute Schul-Jet, der in &uuml;ber 30 Luftwaffen Generationen von Milit&auml;rpiloten ausbildete. Zwei Sitze hintereinander unter einer langen Glaskanzel - genau deshalb funktioniert der Jet vor der Kamera so gut: Der Passagier hinten sitzt hoch und hat freie Sicht aus dem Cockpit. MiGFlug fliegt den Typ auf Erlebnisfl&uuml;gen ab Aosta im Nordwesten Italiens, mitten zwischen einigen der h&ouml;chsten Gipfel der Alpen.<\/p>\r\n<p>Vor dem Dreh durchliefen beide K&uuml;nstler dieselbe Routine wie jeder Passagier: Sicherheitsbriefing, Anpassen von Fallschirm und Gurtzeug und eine Cockpit-Einweisung mit dem Piloten. Erst danach wurden die Kameras montiert und die Kanzel geschlossen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=693584020  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/farid-bang-jet-briefing-aosta.jpg\"  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Farid Bang lernt den Jet vor dem Start kennen\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Farid Bang lernt den Jet vor dem Start kennen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;Das war echt krass, das war schon geil.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Farid Bang<\/strong> &mdash; Deutscher Rapper, im REQUIEM-Making-of<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Das Making-of<\/h2>\r\n<p>Wer immer noch zweifelt, dem liefert das offizielle Making-of den Beweis.
