SquawkGear allows you to fly FlightGear on VATSIM, using a couple of old VATSIM clients, SquawkBox 747 and Advanced Voice Client.

What is VATSIM?

The <a href=http://vatsim.net>Virtual Air Traffic Simulation network</a>. "VATSIM is an online community where people can learn and, at the same time, enjoy the pastimes of flight simulation and air traffic control simulation all while making new friends from all over the world." http://www.vatsim.net/vatsim/
