This is now a done-deal, and I'm not sure how it went, but what a great idea! Once in the past I worked with NASA and a middle school to put on a live "virtual control room" experience. The aircraft carried a laptop with webcam and cellphone with a skype internet connection. The students watched the entire flight live from their classroom and could gather data from test points and direct the pilot (me) to the next point. They got a lot out of it! Good stuff!
