These things move so fast, tracking them is really difficult close to the ground. The second shot was a happy accident, with only a very slight crop required.

Thanks Randitola. Yes sometimes it just works out. On this occasion I thought was tracking him fairly well when he unexpectedly turned sharply toward me and I didn't have time to zoom out.

Well that definitely works well in this shot. Shows up more cockpit detail, and yet is still nicely composed in the shot as a whole.

The happy accident is my favorite as well. Everyone has shots of a fighter jet flying over, not may have a nicely detail image of the cockpit as it flys over.
