Big Jet TV today – including those from the world of entertainment.The YouTube channel has built a steady following over the last few years by live-streaming moving aircraft, captured on cameras set up on the perimeter of airports; its biggest audiences usually come during storms and other bad weather conditions.Today (February 18), the channel went viral, hitting a record 200,000 concurrent live viewers – more than many British rolling news television channels receive – for its stream of planes struggling to land in strong winds caused by Storm Eunice at Heathrow airport.A big part of Big Jet TV‘s appeal is the commentary of founder and host, Jerry Dyer, whose unfiltered and excitable delivery often hears him praise pilots and ground teams for their hard work and expertise in landing the aircraft safely in difficult conditions, and screech with delight when a pilot pulls off a challenging landing.As one wobbling Air Algiers flight approached the Heathrow runway this morning, Dyer shouted over the wind: “I think this guy’s gonna struggle.
