I photographed a B-17 & B-24 today at Love field here in Dallas. I wish I had more time for this today, but I also had to fly a flight with American Airlines. Jets are easier to photograph than prop aircraft because you can photograph a jet at a very high shutter speed to stop the action and camera shake you get when shooting telephoto.
I find to shoot a prop aircraft that 250th of a second is as fast as you can shoot and not stop the props, which is not a good look of an aircraft in flight. You need a stabilized telephoto lens to shoot prop aircraft and get sharp photographs, I used a Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR lens to get these shots.
