You can say that again!   The fastest aircraft (the twin-engined
jet; I think it's a MIG-29) flies at over 160 mph!

I've got a lot more misses than I have successes; most of the in-
flight shots are hand-held with a 500mm lens (300/2.8 + 1.7xAF).
The shake-reduction of the K10D certainly helped, but focussing
was a problem.  The MIG-29 shot is a crop to about half the size
of the frame, so you can guess how fast I had to pan.

Thanks for your comments.
