Of course, but the opportunities for recognising different vehicles in
different conditions from an aircraft must be limited, and looking at
films isn't quite the same thing. My suggestion is that viewing
training videos from UAVs would look exactly like what the operator
would see on his screen for real. And he could do it again and again.

The training opportunities you describe would be available equally to pilots and
UAV operators. The pilots would still have the advantage of being able to see
or visualize the broader picture available from the cockpit.

Also, repeating the same "canned" scenarios ad nauseum may not provide any
additional training. Without experience, any difference from the already-seen
perspective may be unidentifiable.
