You can fly from any airport in the world. Rotate the airstrip to be in the 
vertical position on the screen. Zoom right down (2 metres) or less if possible.
Activate Flight simulator and you'll find that you are sitting on that tarmac.
You should be facing the right way (or else turn 180 degr). Enjoy.


Fake Auto Pilot:
----------------
Submitted by: Mike

You can set your Google Earth flight similator on 'fake' autopilot. Here's how: 
1. Start Google Earth, 
2. orient your view to your desired direction of flight. 
3. touch down to ground level anywhere (you don't need a runway to take off). 
4. Start the F-16, go to full throttle and take off using ONLY the flaps, set 
   to 100 per cent. 
5. Once airbourne, lower flaps to 40, and at 5,000 feet, lower to 20 and leave
   it there. 
Plane will oscillate in altitude and speed before settling in around 30,000 feet 
at 520 mph, and will remain locked in a level position left to right. One touch 
of the joystick will ruin it. Leave it running for hours and it will stay on your
set course. Happy travels!
