Is this crop too awkward, and would it be an obstruction?

Technically yes obstruction, but you might get away with it. Crop is a bit awkward, but ok for me.

Closer?

Closer?

Contrast still a bit harsh.

Well I'd like to make this frame work since it split that storm in half, so last attempt before I concede and go with a totally different angle.

Ok for me, but still borderline and a bit softer now. Will not comment on this one again.

Is this because halos? I couldn't see any, though admittedly under equalization it looks funny but I'm wondering if it might also be bad dust removal. I only moved the contrast slider, though it was a touch more than I usually would.

Sky around the aircraft is much lighter than the rest of the sky, so halos, yes.

Is there a chance for this or is the contrast just going to be too harsh no matter what I do?

Might be fixable, but dark tarmac with bright light/light paint will make it tricky.
