I've been searching around a bit but I haven't found out if anyone's
interfaced Google Earth (the standalone, not Google Maps online) with any
APRS system. Anyone know?

I'm finding that (like a lot of APRS stuff) the information that's out
there is a little disjointed and hard to find. Aprskml lets you set up a
server to provide a Google Earth feed - you can add a network link to
http://argentdata.com:8080 and see part of California, and hopefully my
balloon when it flies this Saturday. I need to grab the latest version and
see if that fixes an altitude glitch, though.
Aprsdepot.com also has scripts for generating KML files, but the
documentation is even worse. The whole site is in the form of a discussion
forum, and you have to dig a bit to find the relevant information. It's
far from being a simple point-and-click sort of thing, and my results so
far have been disappointing, at least compared to aprskml.
I've also not seen a standalone solution yet, that'll run on a machine with
a local TNC. You can run aprskml and point Google Earth to the loopback
interface, but I don't think there's any support for a direct TNC
connection.
If we could get that, and a mechanism for pre-caching large amounts of
Google Earth data, it'd be an awesome standalone APRS system. As it is,
for this weekend I'll be relying on a couple of gigs of downloaded DRGs in
Xastir. With a good old-fashioned paper atlas as a fallback.
Always thought it would be fun to rig up a laser scanner to project APRS
icons onto paper 7.5' quads on the SAR command post map table...

It already supports TNC access through the use of the javax.comm libraries.
There are several different versions of javax.comm around for different
OSes. Send me an email if you can't find one, and I'll help you get it
setup.

Google earths limit on cached data is pretty small, compared to what would
really be useful. I sometimes use the "fly" feature of google earth to
populate the cache along paths that I will be traveling without network
access.

Yeah, there are two problems - it's too small, and there's no way to
specify an area to pre-load. You have to look at every place you want to
cache, in the resolution at which you want it cached. Whether it's through
Google Earth itself or an external caching proxy of some sort, I'd really
love to have the ability to just download all detail for a given area. USA
Photo Maps lets me do that, and I can leave it running for hours if
necessary to pull down an area of interest. Granted, Google probably
wouldn't like the extra load on their servers, but I'd be willing to pay
for a subscription to do that.

We are in the process of fitting out a plane with APRS.
It will have a
GARMIN GPS 196
MAXON Data radio (5W)
TinyTrak3
RG58
N-TYPE panel mount
Home brew 1/4 wave bent over whip.
Callsign will most likely be VK4HDA-9

It is still working at my home location. I have changed nothing in the last
few weeks, so if there was any change it is on Google's end and beyond my
control...

OK, I think I see what is going on, Google turned off version 1 of the API,
apparently there are some areas where the v2 does not work as implemented
on my site. I'll look into it when I have time, but it may be a week or so,
I am on the road at a conference.

With APRSDepot, the documentation on how to get the results you need is at:
http://www.aprsdepot.com/forum/index.php?topic=34.0
If you need help on how to use Google Earth use this link:
http://www.aprsdepot.com/forum/index.php?topic=35.0
APRS Depot took the stance to allow you to build your own fully customized
results from the software. Like any program, it takes a bit of initiative
on the user's part to read the documentation...
