Cool visitor in for fuel at Breighton today!
Flying TV’s specially adapted R44 Raven II, “Xray Lima”, is equipped with a multi-million-dollar, state-of-the-art camera system that streams live media to a Beech Super King Air flying at around 25,000 ft. The King Air then beams the footage directly back to the TV studios.
Today, the aircraft is covering the Lloyds Tour of Britain cycle race, including the Hull-to-Beverley sector, as well as the other races taking place across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Quite an impressive bit of airborne TV technology! 🚁📺📸 Jez Poller
