A couple of posts back, a few people mentioned having CTV cameras at major airports to capture airport operations.

What about the cameras on board the aircraft? Do these larger aircraft not have cameras in the tail fin? Or on the underbelly that assist with taxi operations on smaller taxiways. These same images appear on the passangers little tv's in the seat backs and on the PFDs in the cockpit. Do these not receord? How hard would it be for these cameras to be connected to a looping recording system that captures the last 60 minutes of flight. Kinda like the looping voice recorder in the cockpit.
