Nice image. I would suggest slowing the shutter speed slightly and panning with the aircraft so as to induce more prop blur.

Here's a link to a photo I took at an airshow of a Pitts S-2B doing a low level high speed pass. Shot was taken at 300mm and 1/160 of a second. I was panning with the aircraft to keep it as sharp as possible with the slower shutter speed and long focal length.

I am aware that the shutter speed was too fast but believe it or not this was a grab shot, the guy took me by surprise....
