Ah, love. Sometimes — and in Shōjo series, very frequently — it's one-sided. When a character encounters that certain special someone who's totally out of their reach, a conveniently timed airplane flies by, and the unrequited lover spends several seconds staring at the airplane as it flies off into the distance, forever out of reach. In fantasy or historical series where there are no airplanes, a bird appears instead. Despite flying high in the upper troposphere, the Airplane of Love frequently draws a Dramatic Wind in its wake that affects people on the ground. Not to be confused with the Mile-High Club, for those of you who are of a different mind. Also not to be confused with the Satellite of Love. See also Train-Station Goodbye. If the certain someone is on the plane, expect Air Voyance. |

Toradora! — Inverted. When Ryuuji gives his "Tiger and Dragon" speech there are twin contrails in the sky, symbolizing his connection to Taiga. At the end of the series, when Ryuuji stands outside alone, the sky is empty, but he recalls the contrails as he vows to return to Taiga's side some day. | |

Played with quite a bit in episode 12 of The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Mashiro gets an airplane flyby and Dramatic Wind shot while puzzling over her feelings for Sorata. But it isn't the usual symbolism, because it happens right after Sorata attempted a Race for Your Love to the airport, only to discover that Mashiro wasn't actually leaving. In the same scene, Rita's plane flies into the distance while Ryuunosuke, to his own confusion, stays behind and thinks about his Tsundere-ish feelings for her. | |

A variation in Hayate the Combat Butler because they are both clearly within reach of each other and believing I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me of each other, and Attractiveness Isolation on Hinagiku's side, Hinagiku manages to confess that she likes Hayate, only for him to be unable to hear because the train is rushing by. | |

Black Country, New Road has a sophisticated play on this throughout their album Ants From Up There, where the "Concorde" is a recurring lyric and overall thematic symbol (up to having a song named after it, and a Concorde airliner featuring on the album art). It's often used as a metaphor at face value to describe the beauty of romance, but it subtextually alludes to the "Concorde fallacy" of investing in a passionate endeavor that you know whose viability has long since expired, in turn highlighting how virtually all instances of love and passion in the album go unreturned or rejected. | |

Your Lie in April: In episode 20, Kaori calls Kousei via cellphone and cheerfully informs him that there is an airplane flying by on its night flight where she can see it from hospital windows. Kousei realized he also can see the same plane and looking at the same sky as her made him realize his true feelings for her. | |

In Strawberry 100%, when Manaka thinks that Nishino is breaking up with him, the Airplane of Love suddenly appears above his head. It disappears as she clarifies. Then he thinks they're breaking up again, and it's another Airplane over his head. This happens three times in a row, indicating busy skies over the city! | |

Maison Ikkoku In one instance it represents Kyoko accepting the death of her husband and deciding to remarry. In episode 20 this seems to be combined with Disturbed Doves. Both Kozue and Kyoko are watching, so it isn't clear, but it had the symbolism and feel of Airplane Of Love. |

Genshiken also has a ridiculous amount of airplanes going over the university building when romance is just out of somebody's grasp. Obviously they're under a flightpath or something... Let's not forget that the whole POINT of Genshiken is to mess with not only all of these tropes, but the people that like to follow them. | |
