If you have a Ham license, you could build a little transmitter that
runs a watt or so, and put it in your plane.  It would be on the the
420-450 MHz or higher bands.  You'd probably have to follow the plane
with a directional gain antenna to get an acceptable image, but it can
be done.

At the local electronics swap meet, there are a couple of people who
wander around with CCD colour cameras with a little (probably 1200MHz)
antenna on top, and transmit the image back to the monitor in their cars
on the other side of the parking lot.  Range is about 1/4 mile through
people and cars and bushes, and without directional antennas.
