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.

Since posting this another obvious idea has occured to me. You could do this experiment for your own satisfaction with one of those natural cams on your head - just with the mirror.
