All fine shots. Of course, everything we ever do, including photography, could always be better in some way.
I'm not sure what setting you had on your camera...but... try setting your camera to Aperature priority. Then, set your exposure as you like...and let the camera automatically choose the fastest shutter speed for you, given the amount of light that is available..
I am assuming that you are not trying for some special ''blur'' effects, of course. I always figure the camera is smarter than I am, anyhows. Keep them coming!!!

Rich, I used AP and set it to F11 just as a guess and later when I got home and downloaded over 500 shots, I realized I should of either stepped down to F8, or reduced my ISO to 1000-1200 for more of a realistic flight image.
To be honest, I was lazy and didn't change any settings. Heck, I had only picked up the lens about an hour before going to the field and probably was more interested in pushing the envolope with such a high ISO compared to my old 30D.
Rookie mistake. lol
