Chuck:
Totally agree. There's nothing to focus on, when looking at the sky. And, with
narrow DOF, any slight deviation from a flight path and it's over. I was using
250mm at the airshow most of the time, which was quite OK for reach. As 150mm
would not have been sufficient, the only m4/3 lenses that might work are the
xx-300 zooms. In Paul's case, the new 75-300 (don't know about the Panny) falls
within his budget If I remember, Moose uses and is satisfied with the 75-300.

You will definitely need AF for a fast moving target at 300mm. Trying to use
hyperfocal methods or near hyperfocal methods is not likely to work unless you
can narrow and zero in on the range where you expect the aircraft to be.
