No it's an F-16, not a MiG.

As the 1DsmkIII was so bad with AE, I ended up shooting manually for the most part.

So I guess no one looked at the static displays to see if they had the EA-6B Prowler and C-17 Globemaster? May not be able to see the Prowler in a couple years since the US Navy is phasing them out.

I went this year, the Globemaster's off limits... I didn't bother to see the inside of any other.

Do you find that there are better results compared to shooting in shutter priority set at 1/1000sec?

For jets you just need to set a certain depth of field to keep the plane in focus. Let the camera set the shutter speed. If you shoot on shutter priority set at 1/1000sec, it was so bright that day, that your aperture could go down to f22 or f27, which would make your image less sharp due to diffraction. F5.6 ~ f11 is the sweet spot of any lens - that's where it is the sharpest. Unless I need the depth of field, I never shoot anything at over f16.

With objects moving that fast, you really want to get the most DOF you can, and the only way to assure that is to lock down your aperture - you don't want it dropping if the scene darkens and leaving your plane out of focus.
I found when shooting stock cars, I was actually better off metering off the pavement (a medium grey) and then locking my exposure in manual... there was so much variation in the brightness of the colors of the cars, with everything from all-black to all-white and three dozen levels in between, that my exposure was swinging 2-3 stops through the course of a race... I'd end up with white cars looking grey on a really dark field, and black cars looking grey and speed-smeared on a washed-out field.
I don't imagine planes are much different.
