Depends on the spawn rate, but yeah.

You can make a triangle section of a patrol pattern for one plane. Have it spawn every 4 hours and they'll fly out, make a turn, then another back, get to the end and disappear.

The trick with planes is that you'll want them flying during the day and not at night.

That means MANY different plane groups. Best would probablt be to make a little radial triangle, then have it come back home, and make a 2d loop out. Even a 3d if you think there should be a plane flying the pattern all day long. Have it repeat every 24 hours, starting at 5am or something like that.

So the plane spawns at 5am, flys a pattern and comes home. Say it takes 6 hours. It makes a 2d loop before returning to near the start location at 5pm, where it depspawns.
