When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
I'm pretty sure this is one of the Tex Avery MGM Cartoons, although I wouldn't bet on the exact title.
Looking through the list on the page you linked, it might be Little Johnny Jet.
No, it's not Little Johnny Jet, I remember seeing that one on TV too. There are no anthropomorphised planes as characters in this.
There's no Part 1, I just thought it was funny at the time.
I think it must have been "Ceiling Hero" — an old Merrie Melodies directed by Fred (Tex) Avery.
Six-Two and Even ... Over and Out.
Alright, that's the one, thanks.

There's this cartoon I remember watching as a kid on TV, in the same local timeslot that aired Bugs Bunny shorts, but there were no recognizable characters in it (and I even doubt it was a Warner Bros cartoon, not sure). It was probably from the 40s-60s, very colorful and narrated like a documentary, a bit reminiscent of those "world of Goofies" cartoons, It started with an establishing shot of an airport where all kinds of wacky flying contraptions were flying about, the voiceover guy talking something about aviation enthusiasts and how the field has advanced so much over the years, or something. Then it segued into a series of skits, such as:
- A massive high-wing passenger plane whose wings were almost entirely covered with propeller engines (curiously I don't remember any jet plane in this), after some build up for its launch, only the wing took off, leaving the rest of the plane (and its surprised passengers) behind.
- The narrator goes "Planes without instruments have to rely on ground roads for navigation" or something like that, while showing the top-down vision of a plane's shadow doing a silly car impression, following the road as if it was driving on it, stopping at road signs, taking the wrong turn then having to back up to take the right one, stuff like that.
- A pilot in his cockpit flying at night during a heavy rain, there are no windshield wipers, so he has to stick his hand up a hole on the console so he can wipe the windshield manually himself.
- And torwards the end there's this one about "blind landing", which of course, ends up with the airplane, as soon as it gets close to the runway, stopping in mid air so the pilot will cover up the canopy with a convertible car roof-like thing then open a hatch on the plane's belly to poke around the ground with a walking stick like a blind person.
I've been trying to find it for quite some time now, with no luck, no matter what vague keywords that are available to me I use, it always returns Plane Goofy, Aviation Vacation, some other non-plane related cartoons, lots of "look how racist these old cartoons were" videos, and loads of completely unrelated garbage that relate to the prepositions in the search terms at best.
