On "airliners.net" under the most popular in the past 24-48 hours section there was a panel photo on the 777-300 series. This A/C had external cameras so u could see the wings and fuselage.What a great idea...I've never seen this before, is it a new thing? I bet this would be really helpful when you suspect structual damage.

Its been around for some on the 777 I believe. Search for Bailey as the photographer, he has a few pictures of it.. :)

Thanks for the link. That is indeed very cool. :)Ryan-Flightpro08 :-cool VATSIM Pilot/ControllerZLA ARTCC Senior Controller (C-3)Help Fight Cancer! www.ud.comhttp://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...tor=OD1&a=a.jpg-----------------------------My "Home Made" System Specs:Intel Pentium 4 2.2GHz ProcessorTurbo Gamer ATX Mid-Tower with 420W Power SupplyEPoX 4G4A Motherboard with Intel 845G ChipsetVisiontek XTASY GeForce4 128MB Ti4600 (Det 42.86 Drivers)1GB PC2100 DDR RAM40GB Matrox 7200RPM Hard DriveWindows XP Home Edition SP1*No CPU or GPU Overclocking*-----------------------------Click Here to Download my American Eagle POSKY CRJ-200!

Airbus has this as well on their A340's, but just like the Boeing's, it's primary use is for easy taxiing.Boeing: (From the above post)http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=384641Airbus:http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=346650Enjoy!-Greg

Great shots..Gotta love when reality is cathing up with games.. spot plane view in real..Now they just gotta work on that simulation rate speeding up time with 8x speed using autopilot we are all set lol :D

Reminds me of the spot view. Probably got the idea from FS!!JimCYWG

Actually there are several external cameras, underneath as well.Cheers, Chris Porter:-outtaPerthWestern Australia

On Sout African, two of the IFE channels show you the view from the nose wheel and the tail cameras. I watched the approach into JNB from the tail camera view. That was pretty darn cool!
