Ok, i know i could just rewatch some episodes, but that's weird, i can't seem to remember?

I'm thinking to add some "bonus stages" in the game, and one of them could involve the air pirates flying in the sky and firing at planes to get loot. Either as the Iron Vulture or the Tri-wings.
Baloo & co will be the main characters of the story, so the only way to add levels in which you can play as the air pirates is to do side levels, so bonus stages could fit. What do ya think?

It has two foward firing HEAVY cannon (I'd say 8 to 12 inch), several smaller cannon on each broadside (I'd say 75mm) and one on a telescopic pintel on the roof. It also has another pair of big guns that Karnage says, makes the big ka-boom-boom.

And then there are machine guns, small arms and anything you can pick up and throw, really happens I read of a mechanic who threw a wrench at a bomber flying low in WW2.

Awesome idea, but I'd like to steer Mad Dog's plane

It (and all the bi-planes his comrads fly) look like a cheep knock-off of the Curtiss R3C-2 with machine guns added. The R3C-2 was the plane Jimmy Dolittle won the Schneider Trophy for the USA in 1925, clocking a speed of 245.7 mph. A bit off subject, I was in London and forgot too see it at the Science Museum! I went there but it was too big for one trip but ran out of time and forgot on the first go!!!

THNX for the adding the useful info of the origin of Pirates' planes

It's the best fit, it is modified somewhat with bigger struts in the wings with the pontoond fitted too them rather then the fuslarge, but that'll make it more ruggard.

Thank you for the answers ^^
So yeah, i guess a shoot'em up level playing with the air pirates could be fun as a bonus stage.
I'll have to look for reference pics though ^^
