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.
