This weekend, I was at the Jamestown 400th anniversary event in Jamestown and I was walking by where they had some TV broadcast trucks and noticed a guy pointing what appeared to be some kind of receiver towards a Cessna flying around the site. I forgot to write the name of the equipment down, but he was basically following the plane around with it and looking down at something on a screen. I was assuming the plane may have been broadcasting video and feeding it to the guy on the ground, but wanted to see if anyone knew what it might be.

Or the guy at the truck was sending a video package to the plane via microwave for the plane to then relay to the ENG receive site.

(We used to do it with our helo when we were blocked from a line of sight shot to the receive site.)
