I had thought of this, then I wondered, why not have head movement do both? That is, have the camera pan/tilt/roll in sync with your head and also shift the plane on the same axis. That way you could know which way was centered (looking out over the nose of the craft), and immediately see where you'd be headed when the turn completed.
There's a chap who got a Parrot AR Drone flying like this - they're quite simple to control with arbitrary devices via node.js and nodecopter. Fun proof of concept.
