Default Ultralights in Space?

The flight simulator XPlane (xplane.com) has a feature that you can set
the environment to simulate flight on Mars. It even comes with planes
tailored to the air density, and complete scenery, based on the orbiter
images.

The plane you have to use looks a lot like a U2, but performs very
marginally. Cool to fly around Olympus Mons, and down that big canyon
though.
