| Thought some of you might like this.
You can fly around the globe in Google Earth using the flight simulator feature. This allows you to operate a simulated aircraft using either your mouse or another controller.
Entering Flight Simulator
To enter the flight simulator, do one of the following:
Click Tools > Enter Flight Simulator
Press CTRL + Alt + A (Command/Open Apple Key + Option + A on the Mac)
The Flight Simulator dialog box appears. You need to chose the following:
Aircraft - Choose the airplane you would like to fly based on the descriptions shown. The SR22 is a slower plane and easier for beginners.
Start Position - Choose where you would like to begin.
Joystick support - Check Joystick enabled if there is a joystick device on your computer that you would like to use

| A couple fun challenges:
Navigate to the Grand Canyon and see how long you can follow the Colorado River below the canyon walls.
Turn on 3d buildings, navigate to NY,NY and try to fly between buildings or under bridges.
