It usually says so on the back.

Not helpful. Many Airbake baking sheets are aluminum. Others are nonstick.
You need to grease up aluminum bakeware a little extra to avoid sticking. Some people recommend using wax paper that's greased on both sides if you don't have parchment paper, but I find that a bit messy and usually just add a second coat using a second type of oil. So if I've used butter as a base-coat, I might put a bit of olive oil down, too.
