>>> I have used two digital cameras and tried to use one at an airshow to photograph a F1-11 fly past. Because of the time it takes to save the photo, it was pretty hopeless. <<<
I have noticed that many folks using digital cameras are not aware that you can greatly reduce this problem by half depressing the shutter in anticipation of the shot. This gets the focus and exposure functions out of the way. Many low cost cameras can even take a quick shot using this method. Also, I have found that many digital cameras seem particularly weak at night-time - so practice first before hoping to get some memorable shots of that outdoor party, etc! The better models can have a powerful flash added that apparently helps greatly (expensive). Useful product info can be found here: www.dpreview.com Don't get stuck on the first page - many reviews are 12 or more pages long!
