Did you ever get this worked out?  I'd still like to see the Mystery Men stats!

I'm pretty liberal in allowing superpowers to do just about anything, and for us I'd have the character do a "Spectacular Maneuver" (which covers using one's powers for something other than what is defined in the rulebook).

But just ruling off the top of my head for this case, I don't know that I'd allow the character to do this.  Certainly I agree that he can grab the plane (with his Magnetic Capacity), but I'd view it no different than if he were grabbing the plane himself (with his own Strength).  I try to view all of the powers with 'X Capacity' in this way.  In other words, I'd view it like this:

Johnny Storm is flying Ben Grimm through the air (his arms and hands aren't flamed on).  They fly up to the plane, and Ben has the CC to be able to catch it.  However, the Thing isn't the one doing the flying in this case.  Since the Human Torch doesn't have the CC to carry the plane, they would both start falling to the ground (as if Johnny were trying to carry both the Thing and the plane).

That's how I'd do it, anyway...
