Yeah, the system would need to be some sort of portable configuration
so that it would be possible to keep the FAA from being involved in
it... These planes all have sliding canopies, don't they? How about
basically a perisope? Maybe the small CMOS camera on the end of a
telescoping pole that the pilot attaches to the side of the cockpit or
perhaps even holds in his hand? He could put it up high enough that
he could see in front of him or perhaps far enough over to the side
that he can effectively do the same thing that his taxiing S-turns did
for him... Hmmm... I wonder how tall it would need to be to see over
the engine...
