CatpnBlogs - how about figuring a spot 2 or 3 miles on final and using that as a roll out point? Doesn't require rotating your head 90 degrees, and up, to look through a small window.
I've used that technique many times when the runway is on the 'wrong' side. Runway is X. Pick a spot 2-3x on final and base you turn off of that. Building, road, field, etc. Pick something, fly over it. Sporting when you're at 30 degrees of bank, 1000' FPM, and can't see the runway.
