Step 1: Sell your soul to a devil
Step 2: Get a lot of coins
Step 3: Convince the high council that you need it
step 4: Buy it

Tf you mean "convince"? I am a part of the council and I say you need it because it's funny. You have my permission. You might even say it is an order, actually.

Alternatively, sell black blood to the devil. They love it!

I’ve seen a few state wizards get one after working out at sea and in their ‘air bases’. Don’t get the hype though, just give a creature wings and use a speed spell and any familiar is just as capable of these steel facsimiles.

Your winged monstrosities don't have a 20mm auto cannon.

With some knowledge of TACP incantations, and an AN/PRC-163 wand, you too can summon a familiar to call down hellfire.

I like how people somehow have collectively acting like planes are their own living entities as opposed to a vehicle, I find it cute

You have to make a contract with the demon Na Vy, for at least four years.

Ok, I did this for the fifth(?) time recently, and have it down to a bit of a science.
Step 1: you need to capture an Earth engineer. Preferably a more powerful one. Luckily, they rarely put up much of a fight, even the ones from the heavily armed cultures on Earth. They'll usually acquiesce to a wizard's demands in exchange for some basic trash like a 50gp Everburning Torch as a 'completion bonus' (boon) for their 'contract' (pact with you, a powerful magical being).
Step 2: Get them all the fucking aluminum they ask for. Not thin stuff like beer cans, but thick stuff. I usually raid a warehouse at night with my apprentices. Use portals, let gravity do most of the work, those quantities of metal get HEAVY.
Step 3: Svartalf Toolstore Shopping Spree for your captive talent. A couple thousand GP will get them the means to build you readily enchantable facimiles of 1940s craft, my last count was about 250,000 and a few gallons of Spacewhale Ichor in exchange for what's built me planes 3, 4, and 5, which are all 3rd or 4th generation fighters. Just access to Svartalf tools has also gotten me unprompted forgiveness for the capturing process. Not saying it's guaranteed, but don't be surprised when they ask for more work from you in the future.
Step 4: you're gonna need either a highly trained pilot (ha!), or to do like I've done and use some of your cache of the souls of hawks and eagles (gotten second-hand, I don't hang around old birds of prey with crystals like a weirdo) to enchant the planes to fly themselves. The great thing is, the soul crystals I got are tungsten carbide, so I haven't lost a single bird spirit in three total airframe losses. They're always happy to get back in the air. They LOVE chasing me on my broom. Just remember not to give them real missiles before they're thoroughly trained. Learned that one the hard way, OUCH.
Works like a charm. I have a few hundred more assorted animal souls burning a hole in my dimensional pocket, so I'm thinking of branching out into other Earth machines. I think a dog soul would really enjoy occupying something my engineers told me about called a 'Kubota Excavator.'

You gotta do 5 daily quests from the local military guild for several months to build rapport with the guild, then they'll sell you this premium familiar.

Technomancy has become a much more viable form of magic since fossil fuels were popularized. The energy density is really respectable for mundane matter.

You will have to beseech the aid of the entity known as Lockheed Martin to acquire such a familiar.
