That's my wife's job when we fly.

I'm too busy trying to stay ahead of the airplane, avoid traffic, and

I have heard a lot of pilots complain that they cannot enjoy the
scenery when they are PIC. The pilot I flew with said he liked for me
to take the controls because he could enjoy the scenery for a change.

is no reason a competent pilot shouldn't be able to enjoy the view
during the en-route portion of the flight.


It should be possible to have it both ways - "flying" as Dan calls it,
or sitting back and relaxing and enjoying the scenery, with more

flight to 1TB hard disk, of course.



The technology has been around a long time to take in flight video. But
I want it in live 3D NOT on a TV screen after the flight.
