Assuming you've got Photoshop, I'd:
1) Rotate it CCW so the horizon is level.
2) Using Levels, bring up the blacks.

Did you shoot this RAW? If so, you might want to try and reduce the exposure in your processor to bring back some of the blown hightlights in the sun.

increase altitude by 3750ft to reduce the flare from the sun

Oops, you mean in PS - agree with the other comments though. Don't know whether a fractionally different crop would work by taking sun off-centre?.
