I use my trusty Sigma 150-500mm lens;all shots are hand held,but I keep meaning to buy a tripod which would be a big help.

Very Nice Casper;I didn`t see many contrials today over BFS,skies were clear but the few aircraft I heard weren`t contrailing and made them very tough to see.
 
Took these last weekend.

Very nice selection Angry.

Were those taken with your 500mm lens or a telescope?

Great shots Angry.  I've got to agree,  500mm on a crop frame gives very impressive results.

Thanks for the comments;can only get really close in if an aircraft goes directly overhead;most tend to be north or south of me,therfore they are much further out.
 
Here are some taken in evening when light isn`t so good,but some nice effects.
