Los Angeles DJ Jesse 'BoyToy' Lozano does a live broadcast at 35,000 feet above San Francisco after connecting to the Internet at the launch of Virgin America's Gogo In-Flight Internet service. During the special beta flight, Virgin America and YouTube conducted the first-ever live, air-to-ground video stream broadcasting to millions of people at the YouTube Live event in San Francisco.
