Maybe have her prone on an extended boom, holding some kind of 
binoculars to her eyes.

Some kind of lightweight airborne sled would be more practical...maybe 
have her getting prepared to take off from a blimp, with just her, the 
sled, and a launch boom/platform visible. (as if the camera is looking 
out of the blimp she is leaving)
It doesn't look right to me with her flying, the shield/gun thing on her 
arm looks like it would constantly be pulling her over, and the cape is 
a bit much in my opinion. Standing watch outside a blimp while wrapped 
in a blanket against the cold spray would make sense, but the cape looks 
silly.
