Jerry flies! With Virgin Atlantic and Captain Zane Dunning at CAE’s Simulator training centre

[@SuzanneWor43]

We have watched this at few times, it’s so fascinating, we love this video and every Big Jet live broadcast. Captain Jerry 🧑‍✈️ you did a great job flying and Zane is so calm, relaxed and confident. Big shout out to captain Zane xxxx

[@markthomas6045]

I can tell that you felt the weight and responsibility that these men and women have when in control of these machines. Two or three hundred people in the back are relying on you to get them back down on the ground safely. This was such an awesome opportunity. Massive props to Virgin and to Captain Dunning and everyone who gave of their time to make this happen. Well done Jerry/Gilly!!

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

There is only the simulator technician in the back

[@Horizon301.]

Zane is a class act, incredible ambassador for the company!

[@audreymcdonald8402]

Found this this morning. Absolutely fantastic

[@chrisgossman6512]

What pleasure to catch this video. Totally enjoyed this one. Happy subscriber 😊.

[@starfish370]

All I can say is that is flaming brilliant.. Well done to all concerned and thanks a million! 👍👌👏👏👏👏👏!

[@rogermoore52]

Love Zane he is such a good instructor.

[@davidfrankland903]

Absolutely amazing video, big kudos to Captain Dunning and Virgin Atlantic who agreed to participate, as some airlines are taking a different approach to social media and should be ashamed :(. Jerry & GP - always love your videos...

[@bobatcoaero]

Fantastic show with more than great thanks to Virgin making this possible for your Big Jet TV. It did give a beautiful inside of the things happening in the cockpit, thanks to the professional explanations by the crew. Highly appreciated :)

[@ramondicarrera2772]

Under pressure there Jerry!!! Great video. Thank you to all involved in making it happen.!! Never change!!

[@chrismason1241]

That was absolutely brilliant Well done Zane, Virgin and Jerry Learnt so much

[@rachy9296]

Absolutely LOVED this!! Makes me wanna change my career at 40 years old!! Well done Jerry!!

[@jayrap94]

1:07:07 "We're now climbing like a homesick angel" - that was an amazing quote!

[@stephen_101]

When the instructor said "easy son!" I knew Jerry was in good hands 👌 Awesome video team, Jerry you did great!

[@keithdean468]

Your demeanour was exceptional catering for all that was given to you. Never easy until you experience,for what is reality, whilst doing the procedures. For someone with ‘outside knowledge’ your actions were tremendous. All credit for showing us a new found experience which all of us would love to do. Your Instructors were tremendous in giving you the input and guidance in what I’m sure is and will always be, a great day in your lifetime. Gerry, you give so much pleasure to lots of people, long may you continue.

[@steveread7372]

Like Father like Son ,Jerry, you were excellent 👍

[@markwinter7664]

This channel just gets better everytime I watch it. What a fantastic opportunity you had there. Great flying Jerry.

[@fiyoung1358]

Thank you Jerry, Zane and everyone who created this video. After watching your video showing the landings in Storm Eunice at Heathrow - I will now be able to see in my mind's eye exactly what the pilots are doing when I next watch a BigJet video of crabbing aircraft and windshear go arounds. If I was a school child today your videos would make me want to become a commerical airline pilot! Thanks again everyone!

[@philiplowrie9912]

That was absolutely brilliant Jerry, an experience you'll never forget.

[@pennyhaskins7952]

Just loved those 747’s. Traveled on Virgin many times

[@stuartwatson3959]

Brilliant work, Jerry and Gilly and the Virgin/CAE team!

[@stevewilson5834]

That was fantastic Jerry thanks. 👍

[@djbmidge]

Such a great video and so much insight into how talented these pilots are. Well done Jerry and Zane was a top guy. Awesome!

[@rcooze1]

Absolutely brilliant video, had me on the edge of my seat. You did good JD!

[@petros7929]

Kudos to Captain's Zane, John Paddon and Mark Bishton. All great professionals and skilled pilots. Never flown Virgin, but planning to book a trip with Virgin in the itinerary from Orlando!

[@stefcaglio3750]

Loved loved loved it! A massive well done to everyone involved. Some laugh out loud moments as well… ‘Jerry: how to I stop it? Capt Dunning: with the brakes’ 😂 Joking apart, this was absolutely brilliant!

[@JD-cw4qg]

this is so awesome, utterly fascinating , hats off to all pilots everywhere. fabulous

[@philiphart121]

Fantastic show, Jerry. Also great that Virgin Atlantic and CAE were able to help. I earned a lot, thanks

[@christineraymond2024]

Jerry and Gilly thank you. Watched the whole thing from start to finish. Amazing. Not sure how you follow that!!!!!!!

[@monk3synuts]

Great teacher, great student, well done! Very entertaining and informative, I learnt loads. Cheers

[@aveghi9636]

Great film, I was lucky to have a go on a BA 747 sim at LHR five years back, felt so real. Shame they still don’t still do it.

[@geoffh2560]

wow Jerry that is everyone's ambition I reckon - to fly a professional full-motion simulator - superb stuff!

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Awesome stuff guys! Had a very long roll on a 787 recently (vid on channel) thought we'd never get off!

[@andrewhickinbottom1051]

Great stream! I struggled with the headset volume even at 100% but i heard about 2/3rds of it, and found it very interesting. Great job on that flying, Jerry - you looked like you had a blast, especially on that wind shear go around! Having flown the 787 lots of times on Microsoft Flight Simulator, i'd love a go on this!

[@bobbyaxelrod5016]

AMAZING - Zane seems like a nice chap, very calm and informative, John was cool in the back, Jerry i'll bet you were exhausted after that heavy concentration that at the time you didn't realize you were doing, i'll bet you were buzzing when you got home. It was great. Bet you want another go, can i can i huh huh huh just 1 more go Pleeeeeeaassssse!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dabritbear]

Absolutely brilliant stuff, Jerry and Zane! I'm learning to fly the A320 on my PC flight simulator, but I would LOVE to be in a proper A320 simulator like this one. Fantastic! Thank you so much for this entertaining and informative stream.

[@jakeybear5452]

Zane Dunning !!...what a legend.

[@nobutyeh]

Definitely one of the most enjoyable and informative aviation vids I've ever seen, Awesome work brother 👌🙌

[@russell1882]

I had the pleasure of meeting Zane with Jerry last November, a true gentlemand and a Virgin legend! I hope he found a special place for that Gemini 747 model he was given lol..

[@jeremysmith4437]

Just watched this on play back and I have to say it was absolutely amazing thankyou

[@mileshigh1321]

I really enjoyed watching this even after it was live! Gives everyone a sense of what a pilot crew go through on good and rough landings! Nice last landing too Jerry!

[@raygovier8442]

Great stuff Jerry and the VA team, fantastic video

[@danum442]

Fantastic!!! Jerry Airlines FTW!

[@noelj6579]

'EZ Son!!' Another excellent video. Thanks to all who made it happen.

[@bar10ml44]

This is incredible. The technological advances are superb. I’m old enough to remember going to the viewing deck at the airport. Yes it was a long time ago

[@JamesMossR33]

That was fantastic, big thanks to everyone involved!

[@sandyfretwell9125]

Well done Jerry, awesome, what a lovely thing to happen and show everybody well done

[@barrycoomer8137]

Great video. I was lucky enough to witness most of the VA 747s depart from Manchester for their last time. The wing waves were something else and a fitting end to their reign. I’m gutted they’ve gone but they took me all over the world and they’ll always have a special place in my heart. I still think the world has gone mad to retire these beauties.

[@707liner8]

That was fan-tastic, superb stuff! As an avid flight simmer, watching this gave me so many ideas on how to handle the 787 in MSFS and I'm so envious you got to go in a professional, full motion, simulator, you're one lucky guy. Great work by the whole team and Virgin Atlantic to have been able to make this happen, this is KZbin gold!

[@simondinsmore4236]

that was awesome jerry thanks to all involved

[@robnavratil2869]

Climbing like a home sick angel. Love it Zane!

[@ynot7262]

This was epic... So lucky to be able to fly the sim... Seems to me less is more when big jets are involved...just makes me realise how experienced these pilots are... I'd love to have a lesson or 2 myself.

[@sychambers5440]

What a fantastic opportunity..... and so good of Zane to make this possible - what a great teacher. Well done Jerry....next time....now that you've got youre feet wet....a change of seats perhaps?? Zane was doing so much in his seat surely you HAVE to want to do all that??

[@ScrotusXL]

All together now “easy, eaaasy!” 😅 yeaaaah! Love it, top work JD and to all that gave you the opportunity to live the dream👍

[@paulhammond9226]

Absolutely terrific episode. Every landing you walk away from is a good one.

[@EddieMcMeeken]

Wow Jerry, what a marvelous session! You did awesome mate! Thanks so much for making all this happen, gives a whole new admiration for those involved in getting us from A to B safely! 5 star!

[@OGUfohunter]

Awesome 👌

[@cooltube]

Brilliant viewing. How these pilots cope with emergencies is beyond me. There’s so much going on even when alls well in the cockpit.

[@frankchristie7193]

Wow incredible. Thanks to everyone involved that was awesome ✈️

[@Nadia1989]

I'm so envious of you Jerry, looks like you had the time of your life!!

[@chrish8871]

Oh Jerry what a day for you. Orgasmic wow 🤩 Thanks for sharing what a great experience 👍 Hold on….. BOSCH 😄

[@angierobinson5570]

Wow what a fantastic experience that was 👍🏻👏🏻 your very lucky jerry 😊 loved watching this video ! Watch out everyone here come your next pilot in the making ✈️👏🏻👏🏻

[@petergroves9343]

Nice one Jerry, Zane, John and the team, thoroughly enjoyable viewing , thank you

[@thork0tjt515]

Wow! Great video! So interesting! Thank you!

[@andybolton4130]

We are concerned flyers, we came across your video by mistake. We have booked a holiday with Virgin and they also said our cabin crew are trained to help nervous flyers. First time for us Manchester to New York. 4 weeks time.

[@janetpainton5321]

WOW just WOW !!!

[@richardschroeder900]

How Cool was that! Great video guys. Loved seeing the paddock down there, albeit minus the Horseys.

[@Boeing-Aeronautica]

Excellent to see you have fun

[@Northerndj]

I don't want to put this but the VT audio was spot on but the chat between the audio was very quiet so when it switched between one was louder then the other but other then that spot on

[@MattWilliams482]

Bet that was an amazing experience Jerry! Really enjoyed watching this 👏

[@peterwalley1517]

To Jerry Dwyer good video to day keep up the good work see you at week video from your number one fan peter.👍👋🛩✈

[@satos1]

Hey Jerry. This is Virgin Atlantic and not Ryan Air if you know what I mean. Great program as usual.

[@tonyyero7231]

What FUN!

[@tompurvis1261]

I agree that the 787 is the best long haul flight. I have two long flights booked on the 787 in September.

[@mcallisterk]

Fantastic video Jerry well done, that would be something i would love to try.

[@danielmackintosh6080]

Soooo jealous. What a day that would be.

[@asboss63]

Excellent video, well done Jerry, you did good mate✈️✈️

[@gerrycunningham7400]

Jerry. As a former BA staff member I was lucky to do over 40 hours on the simulators over at Cranebank many years ago flying 767, 747, and 757. Well done, You are very quiet during your approaches. Well done mate

[@foxtrotalphaaviation]

Great job Jerry! As would you say ‘brilliant stuff’

[@omally]

51:25 Ladies and gentlemen: The day Jerry Dyer went quiet

[@johndevlin980]

That was brilliant Jerry and team, well done, I had a go in a simulator and it isn’t easy 😃

[@grahambeyer6254]

57:32 Touchdown! I'd like to see an external view of that Slamdunk of a landing. EEAZY SON! EEAZY!

[@khalsafauji]

Looks like you and Zane had fun in the sim! What I can say is that the windsheer that we experienced on that approach (14:00 mins into this video) and certainly the second approach, was far more eventful than anything we'd ever practiced for in the sim. However, the training that we carry out makes dealing with tricky situations feel like second nature and ultimately safer for everyone. Maybe the next time I see you will be in the sim getting your type rating instead of out of the right hand side of the aircraft!

[@yearsley89]

Love the confidence after the toga, "Can we try landing now with them settings, not really no " 😂😂😂😂😂 capt jerry kinevil!

[@ianwilliamsealey]

just superb

[@adamcollins9404]

Jerry, hopefully my tyres are all OK 😳 extremely well done 👏🏻 great tuition from Zane 👍🏻

[@themole1944]

Well done Jerry and all who made his dream come true

[@truckinghoppy9000]

Amazing video

[@beyondbiking]

This is awesome. I’m so jealous!

[@andymann6061]

Brilliant mate! Me next!

[@vicf6509]

Great video. The technology in the plane is unreal. Were you able to see the Big Jet camera crew to the left on your approach?

[@louisthetravelspotter]

that was a amazing video gerry you did very well so well done to you and im actully flying to orlando from manchester october 3rd on a virgin a330-300 series aircraft with the trent700

[@gary1140]

One lucky man Jerry

[@stefcaglio3750]

@AvroArrow4351 this is the video I was referring to on Sunday which explains why they leave the gear down for a bit when they get wind shear warning - starts at about 12:12

[@diamond21450]

Well done buddy, I would like to know why the landing gear is left up for a while when performing a go around?

[@miker8149]

cracking!👍👍

[@nclflyer8197]

Jerry the best place to practice crabbing is with a Tesco shopping trolley when one wheel is broken. I’ve perfected the art now 😂

[@sherrycoles7645]

Jerry was that you on that Monday Virgin flight!!! lol xxx

[@bondugibley]

Here is a idea Jerry get one of th pilots to join you for the day on top of your van maybe giving a commentary on how the planes are landing ..even marks out of ten! Even better in the next named storm..now that would be worth watching!😁
