Not bad at all for just starting out.

So much easier to replace the sky if you shoot on green screen.....kidding.
Haha. I’m sure the airport will have no problem with that

I attempted a sky replacement using LR Classic and PS CC 2019. Haven't tried this many times. I realize the plane is out of focus due to my focusing on the skyline. Any constructive advice is appreciated!
Thanks

I also think the plane is blurred by motion rather than focus.
If you have a problem with getting the marching ants in the right place, one thing I do is get as close as I can, then use "select and mask", exporting to a new layer with a mask. That process allows you to move the selection area out or in. Sometimes if the background is busy the selection tool will pick up extraneous things. I can then paint on the mask with a small brush (white or black) to add or subtract things from the masked image. With a hard brush you can define edges well. With a feathered brush you can produce a feathered edge on your mask. You can also use the polygonal lasso tool to define a new edge, then fill the resulting area with white or black. It is also possible to define special brushes but I have not tried that much.
