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.
