I am not sure of the name of that view, however, I think i tis mapped to the "End" key. Drone view (my favorite) is mapped to the "Insert" key

 

You could search for those two key bindings to find the exact name of the camera view.

Use the "W" "S" and a couple of others around that same area to change where the drone is

 

Use the "5" key on the keypad to reset the view in case you mess up

You "may" not be in drone view then. There are two views (that I know of) drone and the (think??) its called chase plane (could be wrong), where you are viewing the tail of the plane, but you cannot move around. With drone view, you start off viewing the side of the plane but can move the drone around, up down, etc.

IT sounds like you are looking for the external or chase-plane view. I do not know the keyboard setting for that. But on the XBOX controller (what I use on my PC) it is mapped to the left-most of the 3 buttons on top of the controller. It gives the view from behind the plane and also gives a heads-up display of the critical gauges like speed altitude, climb settings etc. It is one of the most critical and helpful views on MSFS.
