As You Know, The Sky Is an Ocean, so it's only logical that it must have pirates as well. Sky-rates, if you will. Following all of the tropes applicable to pirates except for using aeroplanes (or better yet, airships, especially cool ones, or even better: flying boats!) instead of boats, Sky Pirates (sometimes referred to as "Air Pirates") were fairly popular in the early days of aviation, though they were soon eclipsed by Space Pirates once aeroplanes became less novel. Nowadays, Sky Pirates are mostly found in the yellowing pages of 1920s and 30s comics and pulp magazines, in modern media intended to evoke that era, and in Steampunk settings. There is another, more contemporary, version of this trope, usually found in more "realistic" settings; these are essentially Ruthless Modern Pirates who use aircraft. No traditional Sky Pirate story is truly complete without at least one Airborne Aircraft Carrier. Huge zeppelins and giant flying boats are par for the course as well, as are other magnificent flying machines. The punishment of walking the plank is especially deadly when it's administered by a sky pirate after a High-Altitude Battle. Sky pirates are naturals for pulling off a Sky Heist. See also Space Pirates, Pirate. |

The title of one of George Pal's European Puppetoons. Due to it being a Lost Episode with fragments only available in a documentary, we don't know for sure what it was about, but it appears to be about pirates who harass an air force using airplanes, until the said air force drinks Horlick's and defeats them. | |

If you own an armed aircraft in Grand Theft Auto V, you pretty much become one of these by default. Numerous missions involve using your own aircraft, or one you've stolen, to destroy or loot other vehicles. Standout examples include "The Merryweather Heist", "Minor Turbulence", and the "Smuggler's Run" DLC. | |

Final Fantasy XII, especially Revenant Wings, features them. Balthier and Fran start as them, and it's Vaan's dream to become one in the original game. It's also Balthier's class when he cameos in the rerelease of Final Fantasy Tactics, but Ramza laughs at him when he identifies himself as one, since airships are a thing of the past by that point. This is also a Vaan-only Job Class in Final Fantasy Tactics A2. | |

Crimson Skies, later made into several video games. In an Alternate History setting where the United States of America broke up early in the 30s, and no interstate road or rail network, freight is instead delivered by air cargo services operating massive cargo zeppelins; these are in turn preyed upon by air pirates. | |

Aboard their many crazy aircraft, Dastardly and Muttley devise nefarious plans to stop the pigeon. Their motivation is the possibility of earning a medal or maybe even a 30 day furlough. The only problem is, that crafty pigeon always seems to be one step ahead. | |

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky: The Capua Family are a deconstruction of the usual glamorized depiction in an RPG. In a country with a monopoly on commercialized air travel, their Erebonian airship sticks out like a sore thumb and they have to take care in hiding it from Liberl intelligence. The kingdom keeps strict border security and monitors air traffic with a healthy trade economy, which means there's not much the Capuas could profit from, even if the risks outweighed the reward. The one time they highjack a civilian aircraft for ransom, the Bracer Guild and the military are quick to respond and ultimately arrest them. When they're eventually pardoned by the queen, they end up far more successful as a legitimate delivery company. | |

Crimson Skies: The game is set in an alternate history of the 1930s in which the United States has fragmented into a number of smaller sovereignties, and in which air travel has become the primary mode of transportation in North America. The game centers on Nathan Zachary, an adventurous air pirate seeking to rob the affluent of their wealth and power.[4] Throughout the campaign, Zachary leads his gang of air pirates, the Fortune Hunters, on a quest to gain fame and riches. | |

Setzer in Final Fantasy VI. It's never explicitly stated, but he's a law-evading free spirit in an airship with a penchant for kidnapping beautiful women, whose "business" has taken a hit since the Empire started capturing more and more cities. All the trappings are there, anyway. He also happens to be the only man with an airship. | |

Girl Genius with its airship traffic has these. Bangladesh Dupree, for one, was a pirate queen and retains her old style while employed by Klaus. One of the radio plays featured Bang's brother and fellow sky pirate Deathwish Dupree, of whom she is heartily ashamed. Klaus himself, despite being the closest thing to a unified government, has elements of this due to his might-makes-right sort of rule-at-death-ray-point (with a strong admixture of "don't make me come over there"). "Castle Wulfenbach" is really an enormous airship, which turns out to be convenient because they keep making him come over there. In the "To London!" arc, Tarvek finds himself on an airship with a crew who insist they are legitimate traders who just dress and act like pirates, because that's their heritage. They are eventually confirmed to be legitamate English privateers |

The DCU: The Golden Age Green Lantern had a recurring foe called Sky Pirate who embodied this trope. The second Black Condor also fought a foe called Sky Pirate, who was essentially an updated version of the Green Lantern villain. The Golden Age Superman also tangled with sky pirates at least once, who used the surprisingly low key method of using fast armed airplanes to force lumbering airliners into landing in a convenient field before robbing them on the ground. In the Golden Age Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor fought a few sky pirates—such as the husband and wife team of Nifta and "Redbeard" in Volume 1—all of whom operated out of planes which made them fitting foes for the two Ace Pilots. A minor Green Arrow foe was Skylark, a sky pirate who operated out of a blimp. In All Star Western #17, Jenny Freedom of the 19th Century Stormwatch clashes with Smokestack Jack; Steampunk anarchist Mad Scientist based on a Cool Airship. |

Skies of Arcadia. Strangely, they are still called Air Pirates despite the lack of any other kind of pirates or seas, in a world composed entirely of floating continents. It also draws a distinct line between idealized pirates and real ones: real pirates are called, appropriately, Black Pirates. Blue Rogues, on the other hand, are generally adventurers and explorers who only attack The Empire's ships and Black Pirates. | |

The Gullwings in Final Fantasy X-2 are never referred to as such, but they're globe-trotting treasure hunters aboard an airship, all the same. Final Fantasy XII, especially Revenant Wings, features them. Balthier and Fran start as them, and it's Vaan's dream to become one in the original game. It's also Balthier's class when he cameos in the rerelease of Final Fantasy Tactics, but Ramza laughs at him when he identifies himself as one, since airships are a thing of the past by that point. This is also a Vaan-only Job Class in Final Fantasy Tactics A2. |

Because Academagia takes place on a World in the Sky where the surface (and its oceans) are present but unreachable, they are usually referred to as simply "pirates". Like the legitimate sailors of Elumia, the pirates mostly use wind-powered flying ships that are either specifically enchanted or made with of a rare wood that "naturally" floats in the air. Although there are some mundane lighter-than-aircraft. Pirates are practically the default villain in this game, since they are the most prevalent antagonists in events and adventures, even eclipsing the local Thieves' Guild. | |

The Golden Age Superman also tangled with sky pirates at least once, who used the surprisingly low key method of using fast armed airplanes to force lumbering airliners into landing in a convenient field before robbing them on the ground. | |

Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil features a former trainee priestess turned sky pirate as the main antagonist. At one point, she turns into a giant robotic chicken, and you have to fight her. She comes with a Non-Human Sidekick in the form of Tat, a sort of cat creature with the skin tone of Lokai and Bele. (For non-Trekkies, that's black on one side and white on the other. Turns out Tat can split into black and white forms.) | |

The Flash MMOG Skyrates is set in a world recovering from an apocalyptic war which reduced the remaining viable landmass to a collection of scattered islands. Ripped from the ground and cast adrift in the sky through the use of Unobtainium, these Skylands carried with them the last remnants of civilization. Now split into several color-coded factions, the descendants of these survivors travel and trade between the Skylands and are preyed upon en route by air pirates operating from smaller, unmapped "skylets". | |

Inevitably, sky pirates were among the foes fought by Biggles, though lacking the Airborne Aircraft Carriers or Cool Airships. The plots featuring them usually played out more like an armoured car heist, with either mechanical sabotage or some unemployed war veteran in a surplus fighter forcing an aircraft carrying bullion or other valuables to land, with a gang on the ground waiting to loot it. Gangs pulling off an Armed Blag on land and then using aircraft as getaway vehicles might also fall under this trope, however. | |

The main antagonists of Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart are a group of rogues led by a sky pirate named Orangusnake. Though in the first episode the heroes destroy his ship's power source and crash it into the ground (along with sending most of the crew overboard), so one of his goals from then on is to get it airborne again. | |

The setting of the Air Buccaneers mod for Unreal Tournament 2003 is heavily pirate-influenced. The weapons are blunderbusses and old-style-fuse cannons, the clothing is straight out of a pirate film and although the gameplay does not involve actual piracy in the strict sense of the word, the taking of enemy airships to be used against your foe is a common occurrence. | |

Tigtone: The titular Tigtone tangles with the Sky Wine Pirates, who use hooks to rip the "wineyards" out of the ground and carry them away, causing a wine famine in the kingdom of Propecia. To solve the problem, Tigtone turns them into vampires. Normally this would be a bad situation gone worse but the people don't care; they're not drinking their precious wine anymore! | |

The Bonnes in the Mega Man Legends are a family of sky pirates consisting of three siblings and forty adorable Servbots. They even have a metal skull for a logo. Granted in this setting everyone uses airships for transport even though there's water everywhere, so they're just called pirates. The Misadventures of Tron Bonne shows what kind of illegal activities they get into: treasure hunting, cargo stealing, animal rustling, and straight up bank robbery. | |

The Doctor Who New Adventures novel Sky Pirates! blurs the line between this trope and Space Pirates with its setting being a solar system within a pocket universe which is fully pressurized with a breathable atmosphere. The pirates (and all the other "space" ships) are able to travel in a variety of non-airtight steampunk-esque vessels, some with open decks. | |
