Modified the initial view position and angle, based partly on
suggestions from Cameron Moore.  The pilot view position is now
further back, further to the left, and higher, giving better
visibility over the nose and out the left window for circuits and low
passes (i.e. to see the wind sock).  The initial view angle is down
20%.  Unfortunately, the default FOV is slightly wide-angle, and the
down view makes that noticeable.
