I'd like to bring up Google Maps and Google Earth with all airports on them. I mean all that are in the typical U.S. and state databases. Not Farmer John's dirt strip, necessarily.

I also want them to show up at about any magnification, or at least, at a significant long view.
 
Google Earth has all the airports in its database, but it only displays the little airports when you're near them. You can augment it with a KML file with placemarks for all the airports. Two sources: http://cw.sampas.net/kml/ http://www.justsoar.com/public/nasr_apt/. Just click the KML file and it should open in Google Earth.

I have some more suggestions for Google Earth and aviation on my blog.
