I would have to say that I disagree with you, it would be similar connecting an access point to a bridge to a computer, except the bridge is being hoisted by a drone. 

The first time I ran into issues was following a boat up a narrow rive in Alaska, I wanted to stay close to it, but could not physically stand there due to rough terrain and dense foliage. I was standing at the bottom of the river and only able to fly a little ways via line of sight. If I had a drone above me that held a bridge, that would have let me follow the boat at a much lower elevation, much farther as it wound back and forth through the passage.
