I've recently discovered this amazing free game/simulator called Orbiter 2010. It's a space and flight simulator that allows you to launch the Space Shuttle, do complete orbital missions and even fly ordinary aircraft. The main site is here;
orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/home.php
The main fun starts when you start using the hundreds of available addons. These include loads of real space and air craft, as well as dozens of fictional craft from Star Wars, Star Trek, Space 1999, UFO, Stargate etc. I even found one of the ELO spacecraft.
Addons and more here;

It's a proper nerdy simulator that takes a bit of getting used to, and of course I've had massive fun learning how to fly the Space 1999 Eagles as well as various Star Trek craft.
Here's a couple of screenshots;
