- No Budget: The short was made on a shoestring budget of roughly $1,700+ ($23,655 in 2015 money), and was part of why Iwerks had to animate the entire cartoon in two weeks notice. The entire film was animated in Walt's garage, and their camera wasn't even capable of doing a tracking shot, so they had to stack books below the background to give the illusion of it.
- Recycled Script: A Mickey Mouse Works short would also feature Mickey building a homemade plane via a mail order and riding it with Minnie, only for it to promptly malfunction and fall apart because the plane in question was only supposed to be for display.
- Troubled Production: A self-imposed example. Ub Iwerks, the sole animator on the short, in an effort to topple animator Bill Nolan's record of 500 drawings in a single day, pushed himself to animate 700 drawings a day, and ended up animating the entirety of Plane Crazy in two weeks!
- What Could Have Been: Story sketches for the short feature an unused gag where Mickey's runaway plane would chase a chicken, goat and pig, who would then smash into a tree and meld into a bizarre chimera-like creature. The gag would eventually be used in the 1929 short The Plowboy.
