Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pixel Pilot 3D at none against Air Wings®'s 10. Pixel Pilot 3D also leads on iOS requirement (11.2 vs 17.0). Air Wings®'s advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
