Update
I am still trying to identify the aircraft that was used to relay the television pictures. I almost had it pegged as a Beech 200 but then I located someone who was on board and although he can't remember the type he does remember that it had a sliding door, which effectively rules out the Beech 200. He also recalls that it operated out of Albany. Does this ring any bells with anyone? We are talking January 1997.
(GT couldn't help me)
