I mentioned this idea on one of Flat Earth Math youtube videos about a year ago. The idea was to get a view of one horizon and a reflected view of the opposite horizon including the cam lens to show perpendicularity with the surface of the mirror.
It's taken a while for a buddy who is a co-pilot on 747s to find a captain with the right experimental stuff to have a go. These are the best so far - some haven't quite got the lens in view but it's possible to infer that the lens position is clearly above both horizons, as expected, which is always nice.
I suppose it would work in the self loading freight area. I haven't been for an airliner ride for quite a while, far too scary. My flying teeth are far too long.
