Nose camera in plane?

I remember flying into Dallas (I think) on a wide body jet (AA DC10 I think) and was surprised when the Captain announced that we could watch the landing on TV. There was a camera in the nose of the plane pointed towards the ground. As we landed we could see the runway approach and could watch all the way to touchdown. A very nice cheap thrill.

Have you seen such? Any airlines do such a thing nowadays?
