With either jsbsim or yasim aircraft, when is in the vicinity of the
(North) pole, the AGL (as seen in the HUD) goes into 2*10^7 ranges. You
can either start up with --lat=90 (and any longtitude you please), or, if
you dislike the singularity of --lat=90 at the startup, use --lat=88 and
head north. Soon past 89 degrees you'll see it happening. (I initially
discovered it by trying to start up with santa at the pole :) ).

When this happens, one can fly below earth (altitude-wise, as indicated on
the altimeter) down and down w/o a problem on an aircraft (like hunter)
that doesn't allow it normally.

I don't think this is a particuarly annoying aspect of the flightgear
universe, but maybe somebody will get a hint to another bug from this
report.
