I am not a pilot (ground school only) although I use FS and X-Plane. Here's an example from the 'get a life' category: I travel for a living and make several cross-country flights a week. To keep me entertained, I always have a window seat, carry a satellite radio receiver and sometimes take my aeronautical sectionals with me. I listen to the cockpit communications and try to match up what I hear with what I see on the ground. Its always a pain (although fun!) to try and match the comms to where I am in the world with only a map . However, you cant see the VORs from the plane! (e.g 'Direct to Linden', 'Direct to Needles', 'Direct to Willow') Plus, unfolding the sectionals while sitting in my seat annoys the other passengers. They are big and crinkle really loud when I open/orient them. So with GoogleEarth I can just look at my screen, orient the direction onscreen and look down at the ground to match up what I see. Now I can plot my routes in-flight, look ahead to where we are flying and note any interesting things I want to see from 35000ft. A lot of times I look down and see some really cool surface feature and think 'If I only knew exactly where this was, then one day I could drive to where it is and see it from the ground." As a bonus, now I dont have to go buy new sectionals for everywhere I travel or when I leave them in my seatpocket! Post Extras
