About
Founder, presenter, and producer of BigJetTV, which is known to its loyal 410,000 subscribers as "the original" YouTube aviation channel. His videos and livestreams have presented exclusive coverage from all throughout Heathrow (the UK's highest traffic airport), as well as from military UK Fighter stations like RAF Coningsby and RAF Lakenheath, to provide engaging, educational, and relevant content for his worldwide audience.
Before Fame
Growing up in the 1960s as the son of a professional plane Captain provided him with a front row seat to what many referred to as the "Jet Age." The time period gave rise to the 707, the Tristar, and other classic retro jets which began truly revolutionizing the world of aeronautics. The unique access his upbringing provided to the flying industry instilled within him a deep-seated passion for anything to do with aviation from a very young age.
Trivia
He also creates highly exclusive content for his subscribed members, including footage from a different major European airport each month. His top-tier members have been treated to even more selective content, such as long-haul streams from international airport locations as distant as Alaska, Japan, and California, to name a few.
Family Life
His real name is Jerry Dyer. He is the son of a former pilot for Skyways of London, British Eagle, and Saudi Arabian Airlines. As a child, his father would often allow him to sit with him in the cabin during flights, which greatly inspired his love of aviation. His mother also regularly took him to attend air shows throughout the UK, where he would watch classic fast jets like the Vulcan, Phantom, and Lightning.
Associated With

Hundreds of thousands of viewers tuned in to the livestream, many of whom rushed to X to share their praises of his footage and commentary, including noted figures like journalist Dan Walker, sportscaster Clive Tyldesley, and football coach John Fox.
