Let's say there is a case like UA1175:
- they can see how damaged the engine is
- they can see if the wing is damaged in any way (over and under)
- is there any other damage to the aircraft (like there was a piece of shrapnel that hit the plane)
In other situations:
- are the wheels out when the sensors say they are not
- have a way to visually inspect critical parts of the plane while in flight (so you don't have to do a flyover and the tower to look with binoculars at the airplane)

This is what comes to mind now.
Happy? Or am I still dancing?
