OK, I guess I'm going to have to be the bad guy. I have a D500, don't have the 300mm PF. If I had spent the money on that gear and could only get those in flight shots I would be really disappointed. The perched shots are great! What happened to the focus on the in flight shots? Do you use back button focus? What focus mode are you using? I use a Nikon 200mm-500mm on my D500 and I can almost always nail focus in motion. Trying not to be harsh.
Here were my settings. SS-1,600; F/6.3; ISO-800; BBF, AF-C GRP.
I was disappointed. Thank you for your help.
