What were Robert, Ned and Jon going to do with King Aerys when they reached King's Landing?

Probably Jon and Ned would have wanted to hold a trial, by the Great Council, that would have decided what to do with Aerys, and also would have chosen new King, most likely Viserys, with several regents, including Jon Arryn, Ned Stark, Hoster Tully, Robert Baratheon, probably Tywin Lannister, one of Martell, and one of Tyrells, like seven regents of Aegon II. Though Robert has planned exactly what have happened - to kill all Targaryens. The only deviation from his original plan, is that Elia and her children were killed prior he arrived to King's Landing, and his brother failed to seize Viserys and Dany.

It was probably too dangerous to send Aerys to the Wall. Maekar tried that with Bittersteel and it didn't work out well. Plus I don't see Aerys excepting the option of taking the black, he would probably request to be burned alive so he could turn into a dragon. If he did take the black and the rebels were foolish enough to crown Viserys he would probably free Aerys from his oath once he became of age, as Viserys would consider the rebellion illegal voiding Aerys vows he was forced to take upon penalty of death.

No doubt they would Kill Aerys. Robert already had made clear his goals to take the throne by the time of the Trident, and he needed Aerys dead for it to work.

Robert told Ned that he didn't care that Jaime killed Aerys because one of them would do it anyway. Ned problem with the murder of Aerys was that Jaime broke his oath. If Jon, Ned or Robert had reached KL and took the city they would kill Aerys without a second thought.

Aerys wanted to execute Ned and Bob turnabout is fair play . 

It depends.  If Rickard, Robert, Eddard, and Brandon were plotting against him.  Rickard and Brandon got what they deserved if they were plotting against Aerys.  I will even say Brandon got off a little too lightly if he were plotting to remove the Targaryens from power.  If they were conspiring against his family, Aerys should have done to the Starks and the Baratheons the same thing he did to the Darklyns.
