Something could be written in official flightgear to accept any photos
or terrain mesh data in a certain directory with lat and long to replace
the stock terrain there.
This would have many legitimate uses such as flying over public domain
nasa downloaded mars or titan terrain for example.
Then as a separate and non official flight gear project others could
write a keystroke script to get google earth or probably easier google
maps to display tiles around the area you want to fly and screen capture
them and save them to a directory in flightgear along with an
appropriate latitude and longitude.

I'm figuring out how to extract google earth imagery to map the

Would it be posible?
What about license issues? Anyone knows how can affect this to the
fgfs
license.
It has been discussed a couple of time on the list with using
google
map/google earth scenery/images in FG. It's technically possible, but
yeah the licensing would be an area we don't want to get into. Most of
us prefer keeping FG as "free" as possible.
