Need wireless guru's help, please.

I'm trying to get a better internet connection here at my house. This DSL crap is on its way out the door. I'm tried of playing with it.

So, I've got a friend at that lives at the airport (he's the airport manager) and he has cable at his house. He's about 2.5 - 3.5 miles in a straight line (clear line of sight from my house to his).

What kind of equipment would I need to be able to share his cable connection wirelessly from his house to mine? I'm thinking a couple antennas like these, one at each end. The one on my end fed into a router, and each of the three computers fed off that.

I'm probably completely screwed up in my thinking, hence why I'm here. If you folks could make some educated recommendations as to what equipment I should use, it would be greatly appreciated.
