Go for a spin in Google Earth’s F-16!

I am just about getting the hang of this flying thing in Google Earth’s flight simulator. But now it has just got a lot cooler! A very enterprising person has made an overlay picture of a F-16 cockpit that you can use while flying.

Just double-click on the file to open up Google Earth, load up the flight simulator and take off.

Make sure you’re using the F-16 though and not the other plane. Then as you fly, you can see the cockpit panels in front of you. Remember though that it’s only a picture so there’s still no sound.

It sure is a lot of fun. I particularly enjoy crashing into my house. Twisted, sure, but it brings an odd satisfaction. I even managed to land it, which is amazing to me.
