Summary:Reckoning the importance of Airy functions and their overwhelming applications, we present here the derivation of their asymptotic forms for real arguments in detail as a continuation to the part I of the article. When needed, the associated concepts and the insights are motivated so that the reader is not left in the dark. Finally, some physical situations where this differential equation appears are explained.
