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.

YouTube has broadcast its first live event, an extravaganza which was part concert and part variety show and which drew comments from viewers ranging from "AWESOME!" to "train wreck."
