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

I'm too busy trying to stay ahead of the airplane, avoid traffic, and
get to where we're headed.

some other means of travel, like in an airliner.
When she gets her license, then I can take pictures.

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.

Then you really need to be more careful with whom you are flying. There
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
advanced form of auto-pilot, with multiple cameras streaming entire
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.
