If the jump plane is part of a business, then it is probably better to do business as some form of juristic entity (corporation, LLC, etc.).

As for Delaware, the primary advantages of being a Delaware corporation relate to Delaware's well established corporate law. Major companies like to form their holding companies their for purposes of going public.

Depending on where you are going to be conducting your business, that's the state where you should incorporate. Incorporating in Delaware is most advisable if you plan on going public or if you are going to establish some kind of joint venture with some other big company that is familiar with the benefits of Delaware law. If you are a small business and not conducting business in Delaware, then its probably not worth the additional hassle because you will have to register your Delaware corporation as a foreign corporation in whatever jurisdiction you end up using anyway (e.g., Pennsylania). The cost of the foreign corporation registration is typically the cost as incorporating directly.

Contact a lawyer in whatever state you plan to conduct business to discuss the best way to establish your business based on your unique circumstances.

Let's not forget the most important reason why people buy planes or yachts with a Delaware corporation - there is NO SALES TAX due! Be careful though - states that want their sales tax revenue are starting to demand their sales (or use) tax if you bring the thing into your home state within too short a period of time.
