YES its boring and incorrect to boot.

plane1 –noun
1.a flat or level surface.
2.Geometry. a surface ...
3.Fine Arts. an area of a two-dimensional surface...
4.a level of dignity...
5.Aeronautics.
a.an airplane or a hydroplane: to take a plane to Dallas.
b.a thin, flat or curved, extended section of an airplane

Theres nothing wrong with the use of plane or 'plane in this context. Whats your problem?

PS apologies for the off-topic reply, hope your plane cleans up nicely!
