Did you know there's a flight simulator embedded within Google Earth? Along with the latest update comes a hidden feature which is not to be found in the release notes.
You have to install the latest version of Google Earth, start it up and hit Ctrl+Alt+A. If you're running OS X it's Command+Option+A. At first it didn't work for me but when I pressed Ctrl+Windows key+A this dialog popped up:
The flight simulator comes with two aircraft options, a F16 Viper and the SR22 propeller airplane. You have the option of commencing the game from your current location in Google Earth or you can pick from a list of 27 pre-determined runways. Joystick support is available.
Here's a screenshot I took while flying over New York:
A comprehensive description of this Google Earth feature can be found at Marco's Blog.

Don't work with me... Why not?
doesn't wok for me either? Hmmm.. .
I don't know why but it didn't work for me either in the beginning.
I tried Ctrl+Alt+A first and when that didn't work I tried Ctrl+Windows key +A. That did the job.
Thanks Gerard, I am going to keep on trying. Perhaps my version is not the last one. I am going to check out! ;-)

I have google earth 3.0.0762 - is that late enough???
No, you have to download Google Earth version 4.2
When you do, you can find the flight simulator in the 'Extra' menu.
I discovered it! You may stay over USA map territory and the key "A" setting Caps Lock. Now, just Ctrl+Alt+A and will work!
