As long as the AI aircraft remain in the ssg scene graph, the existing
FDMs will get this behavior automatically.  They're a little dumb
about it currently (they only model a flat "ground plane" as
determined at the aircraft coordinate origin), but will get smarter as
time goes on.  There's no need for any speciallized collision
detection code for FDM-controlled aircraft.
