 		Hidden Google Game
Flight Simulater
Apparently Google hid a flight simulator in the maps, I think.

I haven't played it yet, to late for me. Here's a link to a blog explaining how to access it: http://marco-za.blogspot.com/2007/08/google-earth-flight-simulator.html

 		There's even documentation about it on the website although they're not publicizing much.

The blogger said you had to mess around in Google sky for a while before a key combo would work. I never got it to work in Sky mode, but did eventually get it to work while I was looking at San Francisco Intl Airport.

Once you've triggered it that way it becomes available in your Tools menu. But not before.

CTRL-ALT-A works in some OS, or CTRL-WINDOWS-A and some have reported just CTRL-A.
