Back in 2005 legend has it that a Gulfstream V just purchased by Nike corporation suffered an in-flight gear malfunction. Supposedly someone at the Hillsboro airport in Oregon filmed the aircraft with a cell phone camera and emailed it to Gulfstream. A quick software patch was constructed and uploaded to the aircraft, whereupon the gear came down and the aircraft landed safely.
This weekend Arayan Lias' Jungmann was on its way from Georgia to Michigan when it suffered a minor maintenance issue. I happened to be in my hangar at the time. I made a quick iPhone movie of the offending part, Brian Karli emailed it to the ferry pilot and before long all was well, and he too was on his way to a happy landing :)
At home in Michigan
And to think people pay fifty million dollars plus for a Gulfstream V !
