I've been pulled over by an officer in Iowa who had a spotter in a plane - he told me as much. I never saw the plane, but honestly I don't really remember looking either. Speed timing is really the only way that I can imagine being reliable in a plane since radar and laser accuracy could both be disrupted by turbulence. Timing, however, is an absolute, especially if the lines are far enough apart (1/2 mile+).
