AirbusA350XWB wanted help with removing jaggies so I made him a short tutorial.

After a few basic editing things to get the photo up to sharpening level, here is our test image:

Next, sharpen until you see jaggies via USM:



Here is our image (Over sharpened to better show tutorial):


Create Duplicate layer:


sharpen to desired level via duplicate layer:


With duplicate layer selected, choose eraser tool

To show the effects of the eraser tool, we are going to erase sharpness on the sky (Shown here as grain from over sharpening)

Now to show the effects of it on an aircraft:

That is basically all there is to removing jaggies, other people have steps they take but I find those more complicated and un-needed (I.e. lowering the size of the picture in increments)
