"Ki nézi a repülőgépeket?"
Translation:Who is watching the airplanes?

Although you are grammatically right, since if this sentence could also be a generic one (usually, at any point of time), present continuous is a better translation, since "to watch" something usually takes a bit more time, therefore at the time of the speech someone is actively laying her/his eyes on the planes.
"planes" is more natural in English. I rarely hear "airplanes" (or "aeroplanes") these days.
Has to be "looking at". "Looking" is different from "looking at". Looking = látja.
It seems that nézni is a more active/more focused action than látni. Watching something vs looking at something.

This question is not accepting aircraft - reported. When translating a number of other questions aircraft has been accepted. It seems that once a word has been accepted, it applies in that circumstance only, as no global substitution has occurred. Shame, as this would be a big time-saver for the team.
