In GE, if you zoom in close to the ground, then move the cursor to a spot on the ground, and shift click and drag, you will change your altitude and POV. Command Click Drag and you will look around, standing in one spot. I think those reverse airplane controls may be default, check the preferences to adjust.
Attempts to screenshot this procedure in any meaningful way are fruitless. You need to experiment and figure it out.
These are the fundamental movements of GE, the scroll operating usually as zoom. You can also use your keyboard, peck and see ASWXD.
