Try out Google Earth's flight simulator

Gearth Google has incorporated a hidden flight simulator in the latest version of Google Earth - to try it out, launch Google Earth (the new version that also gives you Google Sky) and press the Ctrl + Windows Key + A keys simultaneously. This brings up an options panel that lets you choose one of two aircraft and your starting point. You navigate using either the mouse or the keyboard arrow keys. It's great fun for a freebie. Full details at the Google Earth user guide site.
