There was some discussion quite a while back about what cameras to use for digital photography of planes.

I recently purchased a Nikon D70 and have two lenses. The kit 18-70mm and a zoom tele 70-300mm - with digital you get the equivalent of 1.5 times the lens, so I really have from 35mm to 450mm.

Common misunderstanding. The D70 has a 1.5 crop factor. What this means is that for instance at the 300mm focal length you will only have the field of view of a 450mm lens. You are NOT getting 1.5X magnification. You get the field of view of the longer lens with the magnification of the stated lens length.
