Actually an aircraft in the air in a nuclear war has far more to worry about from blast damage or thermal flash damage than EMP effects. Blast could easily tear off wings or control surfaces. Thermal flash could scorch the skin of the aircraft or melt/craze windows making it impossible to see. Either could cause failure of the fuselage resulting in depressurization.
