I tried a search and did not see anything about these. Can someone explain or show what a properly exposed aircraft photo histogram would look like. Would it be a bell curve like photos were the entire frame is filled with colors or would it be kind of spikey since there is usually a bunch of blue sky around an object?

Just enter "histogram" in google. The first page will contain more links, than you will ever want to read.

There is NO perfect general histogram. A lot will depend on the balance of the lighting and your philosophy to digital photography and how much PP you do.
I use a "Push to the Right but protect critical highlights" approach, happy to adjust the image in PP using a variety of techniques. (Note this requires careful monitoring of WB and individual colour channels.) I also use single shot HDR blending processes in more extreme cases.
You are right that a fairly uniform sky will produce a histogram spike.Comment
