They're quite well composed, maybe a bit underexposed though.

Ok,
1. I am not a beginner...solves that problem
2. The shots are right out of the camera, they havent been post processed for any kind of enhancement or anything. The whole point of the thread was to show what you can get right out of the camera, not what I can get out of my PP software. Which by the way made everyone of these shots "SOLD".
3. f/11 is not referring to the plane. f/11 is referring to the f/stop I chose to shoot at. Airplanes are F-16, F-111, F-117, etc. Apertures are f/2.8, f/3.5, f/11
Dantheman,
I was positive that f/11 would work, because I was using aperture priority mode, and metered the scene. The meter told me it would work. So, YES, I was positive it would work. Also, as I mentioned in my post, the reason I did not use manual mode is because of the moving cloud cover. As the clouds move in and out of the sunlight, the light drastically changes. So if you are in manual mode, it would be VERY VERY difficult to constantly be changing shutter speeds to suit the light levels. Also if you are panning to follow a plane, the light can change during your pan.
By using aperture priority mode, it allowed me to pick my f/11 (thats aperture, not model of plane) and let the camera choose an adaquate shutter speed for the shot.
With the aperture locked at f/11, the shutter speed ranged from 1/450th to 1/2500th of a second depending on how much light there was.
If you want to know what final post processing versions looked like....here is an example.
