A Google Earth Helicopter (for v4.2)
It suffers from the image flipping when the corners of the pan gadget are approached, but it's still fun.
I snapped images from MS Flight Sim X and stitched a 360 pano, cut the windows out in Photoshop then did a tile cutting script to make the ImagePyramid
The range of zoom seems to be quite limited with this too, haven't figured what controls that yet.
I'm waiting to see the GE Microlight, GE Hot Air Balloon, GE Parachute and GE fantasy flying animal next

Why do I get the file contents displayed in browser rather than loaded into GE?!? 
I also just reinstalled GE (4.2.0181).
Any help?

It sounds as if the kml file type isn't associated with Google Earth. Try right-clicking on the link and selecting 'Save Target As' to save the file to your desktop. Find the file, then right click on it and select 'Open With'->'Choose Program'. Select Google Earth from the list, tick the 'Always Use' box, and that should restore the association of .kml with Google Earth.
