As a slight aside, the best airline i have ever flown with is Shri Lankan air, they have a camera in the nose of the aircraft, and another in the belly, you can switch to them on your normal seat display. When coming in to land there is total silence in the aircraft, everyone is seeing what the flight deck sees, everyone is glued to their monitors, totally fascinating. Anyway have a good flight, regards KT

Did some internal flights on Japanase planes and they had the same system, but I think the passenger sees more than the pilot would physically as cameras are slung underneath the aircraft. But it is really interesting and passenger silence is deafening, and it doesn't matter if you have a window seat or not, but me I always plumb for the aisle seat, at least you've got some free space in case you get Humpty Dumpty sitting next to you.

If you are unfortunate to end up there make sure you always keep your soap on a rope, but we know the situation will not arise
