You've got a short memory! At various times during the mission we've spent a long time flying within the ring plane, getting VERY edge on views. I did a quick search at the Imaging Node on Cassini WAC images targeted at Saturn where the sub-spacecraft latitude was between 0.1 and -0.1 degrees and found 880 images, like the attached, which is from February of 2005. If the Imaging Node Atlas isn't your thing, search February 2005 at the raw images website, and you'll find ones like this.
