Pilot's Funeral/Memorial

I am helping to plane a memorial service for a pilot who has died (of
natural causes). To that end, I am looking for ways to personalize a service
for that of one who loved flying.

We'll be doing a video memorial tribute.
The poem High Flight will be used.
I've collected some poems about pilots that will be read.
The service will likely be held in a hangar at the airport with his plane
being a focal point. With that in mind, are there traditional ways to drape
a plane in black to signify the owner's death? I thought about a black prop
cover? Would there be anything else of that nature?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
