There is an AIS equiped airplane that flys around the Annapolis area quite often. I am wondering if the various AIS receivers/plotters know to ignore aircraft targets for collision warnings?

No worries; airborne AIS uses distinct messages. Many AIS plotters don't even know those messages, and those that do plot them as planes. Good example here:

I think it's called TCAS :) :)
