Have a read of this. Post #15 tells you his method.

Just for interest here is one of mine using similar equipment to yours.
(canon 350D and 100/400 IS)
Speed 1/1500, aperture f5.6, focal length set to 400 – probably the ‘worst case’ for the lens. These have been cut down to 800 pixels wide from 3500.
One thing that never gets mentioned is the quality and amount (i.e. distance) of the air you are looking through. This was taken on a ‘gin clear’ day at Duxford.

For propellor a/c you will just have to accept that many will have some ‘jitter’.
The Spitfire in my post about Beachy Head was the only acceptable one from six.
Finally practise, practise and practise.
Hope this is of some help

😮 Sorry Eh, It was late and I missed it. Actually my reply was not meant to be terribly serious either – my dark sense of humour does get me into trouble sometimes.
Anyway here’s a couple of others

Thanks for the kind comments.
A few more views that others haven’t put up so far
Who are you looking at?
Demon and Hind
Pictures of biplanes where you can’t see the pilots always seem to lack that certain something. Anybody else feel the same?
This was the only picture I got where they were banked at the same angle as they were really being buffeted by the wind.
