Is there any way to make all airports highlight or stand out in Google Earth?
I love using this program for planning ultra long x-countries but unless you know that an airport exist in a certain spot it's difficult to find them. especially small out of the way airports.

Under transportation in the side bar you can tick the airport box, but it only shows major ones that handle passenger flights, I suspect that's not what your after.
Other than that all you can do is spend a long time going over the country or feed in the lat/long from one of the publications or from a chart, putting markers on each airfield as you find them.

Some years ago I wrote a program which converts a text file list of
lat long name
to a KML file. Just double-click on the KML file to place the
points on Google Earth.
I've uploaded the program, sample data and KML results to my web site.
air2kml.zip
I haven't used the program for a long time, so YMMV (or YKMV).
They've updated the Google Earth data so some of my marks are out of date.
