    This is by far the best use of Google Maps I have ever seen! http://www.isoma.net/games/goggles.html

    You fly a plan via Google Maps. The controls work , right/left arrow, bank right/left. Up/Down arrow, plane goes up/down.

    While flying around DC, I decided to see how far down I could go, and if the programmer had the forsight to allow the plane to crash. Not only did he do that, but an explosion follows as you plow into the ground or buildings.

    This things is hilliarious. I was able to amuse myself for almost an hour the other day.

    Just thought I would share this with others if you had not seen it yet.

    I like the shadow below the plane.

    Someone will complain because it encourages kamikaze activites. ;)

    Man, that's all we have over here. We can get Boddingtons with these silly C0'2 cartridges in them, meant to mimic draught beer, but that is about it! Oh how I long for a pint of bitter!

    Hell, now that you cannot bring liquids on the plane, how am I ever gonna sneak it back with me?
