- Jerry Dyer has loved all things aviation since he was a child, but it didn't fit in with his career as an interior designer. But three years ago Jerry left his career behind to follow his love of planes and he set up Big Jet TV. What started out as a small smartphone live-stream now has thousands of subscribers across the world on TH-cam. Our transport correspondent Tom Edwards has been to meet Jerry.

Hey!
I’ve never understood how non plane enthusiasts have such a hard time understanding why anyone would be interested in aircraft. If you think of everything in the world, planes are one of the coolest most interesting things around. They’re the pinnacle of engineering, technology and design. I never understood why people think plane spotters are weird.
Vehicles in general are underrated by most people.
I love planes and I am a pilot , but planespotting for me is strange. It's like loving cars but spending hours watching them drive past writing down their number plates. I would rather fly an aeroplane. I dunno, just not my cup of tea I guess.
Stefano Falcini I think it has to do with multiple things (I am a casual planespotter myself) :
Planespotting comes pretty much free
For the ones who have no possibility to fly yet it‘s the closest you can get to an aircraft
Planes remain more fascinating (to this day, that might change in the future) than cars to watch cause obviously they fly, but not only that. They are loud, fast and big and every landing is different so that might catch ones interest. Also planes are not yet as common as cars. I mean who cares about hundred thousdands of boring cars driving by you every day. If i had the possibility to watch Ferrari‘s and big Mercedes/Audi/Porsche all day long and photograph them I might even do that.
General aviation planes for me are absolutely boring to spot for me, it‘s mainly the big jets that are interesting. Even short haul aircrafts are not that fascinating to me anymore (in terms of simply spotting them)
@@TheLuxentertainment I can understand that completely. Maybe you should take up flying lessons as well ! Aviation is one big family at the end of the day :)
Stefano Falcini I‘m thinking about maybe taking glider lessons, but if not I‘m aiming to do the PPL one day anyways. Currently I‘m studying mechanical engineering at university though 😅
Yes it is :)
LOL that BA Dreamliner pilot had a bad day.
Brandon Binder more like the weather had a bad day.
RazorRush KrypticEye BA pilot still had a bad day then having to deal with it
I think he was having a bad day
That first landing tho...jeez
Wind does that lol
Mikel Sopelana Durango they did the right thing with a go around though
@@nathanrock5068 yes they did
Matthew Gut well yeah if they didn’t they would more than likely be dead 😂
Imagine the passengers lol
He’s got more enthusiasm in his voice than the chap reporting for the bbc! 😂
Because Jerry is a manic bi-polar that is absolutely unhinged.
Jealousy is a cancer
Jerry is so enthusiastic and has a great sense of humour......just love his shows!
If you don’t get plane spotting, go and stand on the mound at manchester airport at the foot of R23L and watch/listen/feel a Virgin Atlantic 747 take off. It even amazed the wife.
Congratts to Big Jet TV!!!
Jerry did a tree-mendous job @ 23L .
I watched yesterday morning with flightradar24 running on another monitor and could see all the activity at Heathrow....great show.
That 787 at the beginning was a Ryanair 737 in the Disguise Of BA 787
Lmao
Swiss001
Ryanair does not do go-arounds.
Big Jet TV is great! Jerry's expertise and witty commentary is so entertaining and educational. The channel members, many of which are pilots and aviation experts themselves, are very helpful and friendly. I have learned so much about aviation being a member.
Great expertise :D He is clueless lol
@@Ryanmeston07 WTF are you talkin about man?
Joel James he’s replying to the other guy not you...
@@EliteTogzz thanks for your input.
Mike Davis okay......
I've just started Planespotting and I love this guy lol
I love it when Jerry says “ Flippin a!”
already a BJTV member and enjoy every minute of it well done Jerry
skirlybob BJTV😂😂😂😂😂
@@kevinctb9243lmao
I can confirm that he is indeed, The man.
I have been aircraft spotting for just over 40 years and it has truly evolved. I started off at Manchester (which is my home drome) standing at the side of the runway or going on the Piers into the "Glass House" in the days before enhanced security and expansion took over, with binoculars and notebook in hand. The pier access has long gone. Then went over to the RVP, known then as the AVP. Now, ill health beats me sometimes. But I have gone with the technology and have had for over 10 years a fully set up personal ADS-B (Virtual Radar) system running at home, with an aerial on the roof receiving signals. I live under the approach to Manchester 23R so it works for me. I can see on my screen everything live (unless the aircraft isn't transmitting on Mode-S) 40 miles around me. This morning I have "Bagged" an Ethiopian Airlines B789 and a couple of Biz Jets to go in the book, so not a bad start to the day. One day I will take my system mobile (Just a laptop, ADS-B Box (SBS-1) with a Magmount mobile aerial and metal biscuit tin lid to act as a ground plane) and take it down to Heathrow.
Please do, Jerry needs some competition.
Best Fiver is spend each month,keep up the Fantastic work.
0:11 made me chuckle and everyone loves jerry 👍🏻👍🏻
SMH, not exactly. His tantrums should be banned by YT.
I was as a kid a Train (in the days of steam) spotter. Cold grey wet Saturday morning at Clapham Junction, London. Collecting numbers as these giants thundered through the station. So I can totally understand the enthusiasm these people have for aircraft. And in a crazy, stupid world I (who knows nothing about passenger aircraft but is starting to learn, thanks to Jerry.) Sit and watch and enjoy the calmness that comes over me....... Until...... Jerry STARTS TO SING..... 😮
Came across Big Jet TV in February 2019 when the Beluga XL made the first flight to the UK. Have been subbed to the channel ever since
Great video. ☺️ I'm already subscribed to Big Jet TV. ☺️
Jerry Dyer is a legend, keep it going my son!
Jerry on BIG JET TV is fantastic. He has an outrageous extroverted personality that really makes his channel exciting to watch . I think he could make watching a car's brake being changed be exciting. If you want to see one of his videos at his best. Go to BIG JET TV and look for videos about Storm Ciara. This was a day that jets were landing at Heathrow with a 90km/hr crosswind.
Gotta love people doing what they love
Jerry is the man! Big Jet TV gets under your skin, I love it!!
We made it lads 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🎊🎊🎉🎊🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳 Big ups 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Planespotting is unique.
Nobody ever says "Let's go to the A1 do some car spotting" or "Let's visit the Thames Estuary to see some boats." That's why I love it!
Great job! Big jet tv are great, definitely worth the reasonable amount of Money
Go on son👊👊
I love this TH-cam channel! I always watch it!!
Sup big jets, love seein ya on BBC. Plane spotting at lagaurdia is phenomenal aswell
The person who interviewed Jerry has the first name Tom...
wait, could this be Tom & Jerry in real life?
Bruh that British airways 787 had some real damage 😌
What a way to start off the video!
But don't forget, you can always *Go around*
I think there was a Ryanair pilot flying that ba 787
Weird (by perspective of non aircraft lover) and great concept !!! After all history has proved that weird thinkers turned out to be the legends.
I love aircrafts too, I believe every aircraft lover does spot the plane, but this man took it to next level.
Plane spotting is kind of strange but am addicted to watch BIG JET TV.. am an honest person so I will say, I don’t know if am watching to see if a plane crashes or I just admire the skill of the pilots!! Of course I hope no-one ever gets hurt but I hope others can relate.
Big jet subscriber here from INDIA @BBC London
Legend
Jerry is a great watch . Love it
Jerry is a train wreck, hard to look away.
I love watching Jerry I tell you I have learnt so much about planes and the running of everything it's great to hear his enthusiasm about them and he is out in all weathers. A must watch is the storm Ciara one he did back in February he has members all around the world, just a good bloke all round.
Since storm Ciara you see the real Jerry coming out. He is unhinged, he really needs some anger management classes. He had a major tantrum yesterday that should have been embarrassing. Pretentious, authoritarian, narcissistic "good bloke"...
I mean who doesn't love watching aircraft, they're fascinating
Love it im subscribed to this channel. Jerry and the team do an amazing show
LOVE JERRY! LOVE BIG JET TV!
Jerry and the planes makes my day xxx
Love this guy.
I watched this stream today. He gained like 5k subs today with some of the hairy landings.
the bbc finally remember that his name is jerry not jim
Excellent piece and thanks for giving a fair and balanced view on our Big Jet TV passion. Been a member since day 1. Jerry is THE MAN
Awesome great see jerry how he is with the camera great interview loved it superstar Jerry ✈️👍😃🙋
Jerry you sir are a LEGEND carry on the tremendous work you do, you bring joy and happiness to all your plane spotting pals
Love your videos Jerry I'm a big plane spotting guy my self Dublin and Shannon Airports
love it hopefully figured out where he parks, popping down to watch a few planes with my 4 year old next week on our way back from holiday
Nice
Good old Jerry , go on man.
I miss sitting on the upper deck of X26 to Heathrow and watching the heavies either landing or taking off as the road runs parallel to the runway. Heathrow is a paradise for any aviation enthusiast!
motogp win
I was in that very parking lot watching planes a few weeks back staying in the Renaissance Hotel before our flight back home. What a great place to watch planes at Heathrow!
Been watching your live Heathrow 27L today. Top marks.
I love to watch his show
When this touch & go 0:02 happened it was being live telecast on BigjetTV & flight from my City HYD-LHR
Support BIG JET TV! He's awesome!
Wow, Big Jet TV made it on BBC! Well done mate!
And also on ITV Heathrow Britain busiest airport as well
well done, Jerry!
Fantastic channel, Jerry "Go On My Son" is The Man along with Gilly & team !!
Ti seguo sempre, saluti dalla lontana Sicilia.
0:00That BA pilot was actually a fired ryanair pilot
He's cool guy from Great Britain. change the way of plane spotting. When I watch i just assume that I am there close to the aircraft taking off and landing into the aerodrome's vicinity
Go on Jerry! :D
Tom & Jerry.
Yes, I noticed too
Well earned promo J
Great channel!
Yes Jerry
£4.99 a month is a bargain as far as i'm concerned ...we have a great laugh on the live feeds
“Statitistics”
Who’s here after he went viral during Eunice
"Go on my son"
Jerry and Gilly are awesome :)
Jerry Man 👨
Love it xx
Jerry's the man 👍
"easy lady... easy!!!
Ganda ng long sleeve nya...violet with white...beautiful
Who gives at toss about the serial numbers etc it's just great watching the huge air buses and 747s land
The BEST live aviation anywhere!!!
Lovely!!!
At 0:01 oof. That landing tho rip 787
BIG JET TV!!!!!
Jerry likes himself and is so animated. Dirty dirty aircraft...
love it
The BBC guy sounded so sad
Connor Baker I noticed that, what was up with him
He hates planes...
Em Jay he works for the BBC
Whats the link to his youtube
Anyone know what car park that is? Can never find a decent place to come and sit for a while to see some planes up close at Heathrow
abingdonboy I wanna do the same. There is a Hilton hotel that apparently you have a good view from the bar balcony. Better look on google maps
It’s the renaissance hotel
Renaissance Hotel, not a cheap place to park. Better take a bus.
Nice! Jerry is the man!
I don't really understand why ppl don't understand why we like watching planes... Some people spot buses
Jerry IS the man!!!!! Awesome show
the pilot in the first landing should be hired by Ryanair
I’m sat in Gatwick airport hotel right now going on a plane tomorow morning
The sky looked hella chem trailed at the end of this piece of film.
Alex B “Chemtrail”. It’s called a “contrail” and is due to condensation not cHeMiCalS bEiNg dUmPEd bY tHe gOveRnMeNT
Right now, plane spotting and flight Sims. Later, train to be a real pilot
Damn leave us alone
❤️❤️❤️
Anyone in the Manchester area, (or beyond) make sure you join TAS.....The Aviation Society.
I am a member but this is a personal recommendation and not from the board.
The first landing was harder than a ryanair landing
0:00 storm erik
I'm proud to have plane spotting as a hobby, but when you do it as a business I think it takes away the fun element of it. Surely you get paid to do what you love, but it becomes work rather than play when you've got 'customers' and ad revenue
Canadian Plane Spotter I disagree. I think most people would love to get paid for their hobby.
Yup
Why are people who aren’t interested in planespotting, interested enough to watch a video about it and shout down someone who’s interested in it? Grow up!
