* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'': Stratogale attempted this until her cape caused her to get sucked into the plane's turbine, killing her.

** Fujiko is riding on a plane, when she suddenly sees her FriendlyEnemy Kyousuke (who has both telekinetic and teleporting powers) flying beside the plane window, just to have a little telepathic chat with her. This infuriates her. A mild subversion since he shows himself ''only to her'', hypnotically hiding his presence from other passengers.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' story "ComicBook/SupergirlsSuperPet", an airliner pilot informs the control tower that he is seeing a caped cat flying by when Streaky overtakes his plane.

* A [[https://www.jetman.com/en Dubai-based jetpack company]] has flown their jetpacks in coordination with the French Air Force [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNaZCDhvh88 for a publicity stunt.]] The same company also did a similar flew with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VPvKl6ezyc Emirates airliner company.]]

* ComicBook/{{Rogue}} does this in the ''ComicBook/XMen'' comics, buzzing UsefulNotes/AirForceOne and giving ol' [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Ronnie Reagan]] a thrill. She does it again in the first issue of her limited series, this time planting a kiss on one of two fighter jets.

* A 1970s ''[[Comicbook/TheAvengers Avengers]]'' comic has the title heroes engaged in a battle against ComicBook/{{Thanos}}'s starfleet. The heroes are flying around in small, vaguely ''Franchise/StarWars''-ian ships, but [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Thor]] is flying around smashing apart enemy ships under his own power!

* In ''Fanfic/ThePriceOfFlight'', the Ankh-Morpork City Air Watch comprises four (later five) different classes of aviator. There are Feegle on trained birds of prey. There are flying carpets piloted by Ankh-Morpork based Klatchians. There are Witches operating a variety of broomsticks. A smaller élite group who each have a {{Pegasus}}. But all four of these still require an Air Vehicle of some sort to get them up there. Except, that is, for two Watch members who muster alongside the Air Watch. Sally von Humpeding, code-named ''Fledermaus'', is a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampire]]. And Watch cadet Bridget O'Hellion is a [[OurBansheesAreLouder Banshee]]. Both can get into the air without assistance and each is entitled to shout "Look! no broomstick!" once up there. See more ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' in the works of Creator/AAPessimal.

* Plane ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' have been getting closer to real planes of late. Usually fighter jets, and there's sometimes a misunderstanding. (Or it's a Decepticon, in which case, they're right to shoot, but it [[ImmuneToBullets tends to do them little good.]])

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': Stratogale attempted this until her cape caused her to get sucked into the plane's turbine, killing her.

* In one ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' storyline, Calvin thinks a motorized propeller beanie will let him fly, complete with fantasy sequence where he waves at a plane. Another Sunday fantasy has his parents letting him drive the car, and he drives so fast he breaks the speedometer, goes airborne and ''passes'' a jet.
* Inverted in ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'': a flock of geese are keeping pace with a passenger jet, and one looks over and sees another goose riding in comfort in the plane, making faces at the others through the window.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', the folly of doing this is shown during the "no capes" montage in which a female hero flying by a jetliner and waving at a kid is [[TurbineBlender sucked into the engine]] when her cape gets caught. [[spoiler: It happens to Syndrome, too.]]
* In the opening scene of ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', Jimmy gets chased by fighter jets while flying his rocketplane. He waves to the pilots and shouts "Nice antiques!"

* In the first ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' comic, ComicBook/IronMan is flying close to passenger jets, asking the pilots if any of them have seen the ComicBook/{{Hulk}}.

->'''[[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]]:''' I thought you said you were a pilot.\\
'''[[ComicBook/TheFalcon Sam Wilson]]:''' I never said pilot.

* In the '90s ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' animated series, Rogue once sat on the wing of a plane when she needed to think, and didn't notice the passengers freaking out.
