Hey, I'm no Rocket Scientist, so have Mercy, just a thought that popped into my mind. Be neat, wouldn't it?

In theory, you could; but gravity would collapse the air in towards the existing celestial bodies (the stars and planets) in pretty short order. I also imagine the movement of the planets through the air would create turbulence and storms like you wouldn't believe -- making flying through space a pretty dangerous proposition....

Nope... he would have to fill up inner space too since that is where the moon is. So... if he did fill all of space with air...
The moon is roughly 250,000 miles from Earth. A regular passenger jet travels approx 400 MPH on average.
With those calculations, it would take roughly 26 days to reach the moon. That's a lot of fuel.

For starters, god does not exist.
Secondly, outer space would have to be completely filled in its entirety so replace the vaccuum with air.
An aeroplane could be modified to use different propulsion and could fly to the moon but the wings need air to function. To accommodate, the new aeroplane would need jets instead of wings although wings would help it when it returned to Earth.

No because the moon is suspended in space which is lighter than air. If ther were air in space everythings gravitational pulls would be different and the moon would crash into the earth.

I doubt it because the moon is so far from earth that a normal commercial aircraft would run out of fuel. And even though there is air there would still be gravity to make things difficult.

Well it might work, but then you would also have to consider if a airplane would be able to provide ample protectiion from the radiation in space and extreme temperature.

Yes, As long as the airplane has the thrust to break the earth's pull.

You also need the speed to break the gravitational pull of the earth.

I guess it could if the plane could get past the earth's atmosphere.
