FGFS has some of the most accurate and realistic terrain of any PC simulator. Here are some intersting places where you can do virtual sight seeing.
If you are starting with "fgrun" the FlightGear launcher, you can enter the airport id and select the runway on the appropriate screen in the startup wizard.
If you are starting from the command line you can use the options: "--airport=ABCD" and "--runway=12L" options.
If you know if any other interesting places or routes to fly, please let me know and I can add them to this list.
