If you want to take the best angles, and have 20 dollars or so spare, walk and follow is the dogs bo....pyjamas. It is, in fact, very easy to use, you can take any angle of plane and horizon you like, you can position it behind your plane and to the side and then fly like you're in formation :D - and, if you pause your plane, you can use a different function to move away from the plane altogether and just zoom where you like and take pictures of radiators in the terminal, flowerbeds, rabid hedgehogs, whatever. (If you don't pause your plane, it disappears from view ;D)
Don't try the W+F demo if you have F1 view installed. It will make your plane rotate uncontrollably and the only way out is to restart from the last save.
F1 view is free from flight1 software (payware site) - in their free downloads section. Big improvement over the default possibilities. GET IT for sure.
You can use recorder to get Walk and Follow-like crazy angles too. Record a flight, play back as ai, then use another plane as a camera to get the target plane and horizon at any angle you like.
