With your dominant hand in the "I love you" shape (index and pinky fingers and thumb extended, middle and ring fingers closed to your palm), extend this shape in the air up toward your forehead and slightly bob it back and forth a couple times (as though to indicate an airplane taking off).
Sign 'tomorrow', point to yourself for 'I', and then use the 'ILY' handshape, bobbing it upward toward your forehead to sign 'airplane'.
Point up toward the sky to establish where you are looking, then sign 'airplane' by moving your 'ILY' hand upward with a slight double bobbing motion.
Point to the person for 'you', sign 'finish' to indicate past experience, and then sign 'airplane' using the upward bobbing 'ILY' handshape.

In ASL, nouns and verbs are often distinguished by their movement. The noun 'airplane' uses a short, repeated bobbing motion. The verb 'to fly' uses the exact same 'ILY' handshape but makes a single, longer swooping motion across your signing space.
You only use one hand for this sign. Use your dominant hand to form the 'ILY' shape and make the upward bobbing motion toward your forehead.
Your palm should generally face down toward the ground. This positions your extended fingers perfectly to look like the wings of an airplane cruising parallel to the earth.
