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.. :)

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

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!
