Finally got out to the airshow, and I have the sunburn (plus glasses marks on my face) to prove it. I shot these in Shutter Priority mode to keep them sharp, with a shutter speed of around 1/1000 at ISO 100. The aperture varied between f/4.5 and f/10. I set exposure compensation +1 AV to make up for the bright sky, used motor drive and AI servo mode to keep a lock on the moving subject.
