Wow, you're right, Wayne...I always thought that was an X, but after you mentioned that, I looked and sure enough, the K is distorted by the radius of the fuselage!
Load your aircraft up in Quick Mission, find a nice setting like flying over a cloud, etc...Presse P to pause the action, press F2 for an external view and zoom in with the Delete key, move the mouse around until you get that sweet angle...and press Print Screen!
Your screenshot will be waiting for you in the IL-2 root folder (as grab0000.tga, etc) and it'll be perfect!
