Good colour, and focus and all that; I don't see a strong use of perspective here, but that could just be subjective. But then, the assessment of photographs is pretty subjective, anyhow. Your crop makes the pfamous paint-job definitely the focus of the image.

I like the colors and the background looks good. I wish you had included all of the wheels and (possibly) all of the wings.

Would have convey perspective better from closer to dead-on to the nose, with the rest of the plane receding. This looks like just a normal shot of the plane.
