I was very privileged to be able to take some air to air pics.They were among the most difficult shots i have taken as i had my back to the pilot ,and the vibration was very noticeable They would have been better if i had used a slower shutter speed but as this was a once in a lifetime opportunity I wanted to ensure at least some of them were sharp.

Excellent shots. I agree fast shutter was the right way to go. They are obviously flying so not so important to convey speed or motion through blurry props etc. Envy!

The pictures are very nice.
It is pretty easy to add motion blur on those with a background. I reviewed a video on doing it a couple of days ago. I don't know if it would make sense with an airplane shot but might be interesting to try. It would help make the airplane pop. As would a little sharpening and brightening relative to the backgroud.
