The army doesn't have any planes, only helicopters. The Air Force has all the planes. The army does not have fighter planes, but they do have transport planes. The navy has planes as well. All fixed wing aircraft that carry army service members are piloted and owned by the air force. But yes, the navy does have a variety of planes based off of aircraft carriers.
The collective noun for a group of planes is a fleetof planes.
It depends on which navy you mean. US Navy carriers routinely carried more planes because of they normally used deck parks, (keeping aircraft on deck while operating). British Navy ships kept all planes in the hangers until they were required for duty, which meant the size of the hangers dictated the number of planes carried. The Japanese Navy had similar methods to the British. It also depended on the size of the ship and the type of planes used. USS Enterprise, (1938) 23,500 tons, 97 planes. HMS Illustrious, (1938) 23,200 tons, 48 planes. IJN Shokaku, (1941) 25,675 tons, 84 planes.
The Army does not fly planes. The Marines, Air Force, Navy, National Guard, and Coast Guard do.
A group of fighter plans (and bomber planes) is called a squadron. The size can be four or six planes to a squadron and there is a squadron leader.
A group of seaman is simply referred to as a crew. They are members of the Navy, and can also be referred to in that way, as crew members on the ship.
There are up to 200 navy planes at the bottom of Lake Michigan today(2009) from WW II training of pilots. George Bush was trained here.
