Why would your wife see herself as the plane?

That's not herself.  That's her seeing the fighter as competition.  E.g., your other girlfriend.

You can find plenty of comments from the likes of Spitfire and P-51 pilots describing their aircraft in terms normally reserved for attractive women.

Right now am reading "The Mighty Eighth", where it talks about B-26 crews referring to their ride as "the beautiful lady".  

Of course, before the bugs were worked out on the low wing loading, it was called "the Baltimore potato" [no visible means of support]. :)
