Night Riders has a fantastic opening scene with James Coburn in a PBY in the Agean sea. The rest is "ho-hum"... but that opening scene... Wow!
Battle of Britain
Tora Tora Tora
(don't much care for computer-generated airplanes and computer-graphic flying scenes the current crop of "flying" movies have.)

Watch for, "Captains of the Clouds," with James Cagney. The first half the seaplanes are the stars - mainly a Norseman. Some great footage and some of the worst [but entertaining] special effects you've ever seen, ok for the 1940's.
It's on TMC now and then, I get sucked in everytime it's on when I'm clicking between Fox Sports and Fox News.

FAVORITE AIRPLANE MOVIE
For me it is "TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH" with Gregory Peck.
I've used the ploy about the aircraft he named "The Leper Colony" many times at work.
