There is only one use of "but" that seems to be a preposition. In the sentence "No one but me saw the plane" the word but is doing the job of the preposition "except" -- it is actually saying "No one (else) saw the plane, but I saw the plane" where but would be a conjunction. This can actually be moved to the end of the sentence with the same meaning.

"But" is not typically used as a preposition. It is more commonly used as a conjunction to show contrast or exception between two parts of a sentence. However, in some cases "but" can be used as a preposition meaning "except" or "apart from".
