From macosxhints.com:

"I just read in a German online magazine that Google Earth contains a "hidden" yet complete flight simulator! Currently, two jets are available (F16 and SR22), and also the list of airports is not that long. Just open Google Earth (you'll need the newest version, 4.2), and then type Command-Option-A."

Fantastic view of the world as never before given. Knowledge is truly free.

Quite slow on my machine, Powerbook G4; I often have to shut all other apps before running Google Earth. Best on very fast connections, but definitely worth the wait.
