Sodium is a highly unstable and reactive substance, which reacts badly with any moisture; whether it be in the air or on the ground.
This means any aircraft made of sodium would likely explode (literally) before it could even take off. Not that anyone could finish making it first.
Also, sodium is highly expensive, and may even cost more to make an aircraft than it's current metals.
Sodium is also highly dangerous to touch with human skin, as it literally sinks into the skin, which is very dangerous.
