"Too much" will depend on what your goals are for the photo.

I think what you currently have is probably not an accurate representation of reality, but that would only be a problem if you are striving for "photo as documentation".

If you are going for "photo as art", then you have room to do as you please.

Here you have a silver-skinned plane under an cloudy sky.  Without seeing the original shots, I am guessing that this resulted in a relatively boring "reality shot".  You have made the sky interesting and kept a good amount of detail in the plane.  As a personal preference I would be curious to see what a version looks like with just a little less processing, but in general I like what you have done.

pretty narrow tonal range there

I'd mask the plane and treat the sky a a different element.

I like it but I'm not a photographer

I like the originals. Maybe just increase the exposure a little as well as the contrast and I think you're good to go.
