He’s even drawn famous fans such as Greg James and Caitlin Moran as his commitment to showing plane landings has raged on.
Here’s all the info you need to know about the only channel you need to be tuning into as the nation navigates the blistering storm.
What is Big Jet TV?
Big Jet TV is a YouTube channel run by Dyer, who has been reporting from the paddock beside the UK’s biggest airport as planes struggle to land.
He’s been filming live landings from Heathrow since early on Friday morning, catching all the hair-raising flights on camera.
Some planes have taken multiple attempts to get on the tarmac, which created instantly gripping viewing for those bored, and stuck at home.
The stream’s commentator Dyer even suggested some flights were being diverted to Switzerland, as they got into difficulty ahead of landing.
