My 2nd submission. Photo from the Blue Angels show at the Chattanooga Air Show. This was actually one of their slower passes at about 500 mph. I have several outtakes on single planes at >650 mph but I liked this photo better.

6 - Good shot. Criticism; not sure, but perhaps more of the 'smoke' into the 'composition' may have made this better in my opinion. Difficult given the color of the planes against the sky, but the color of the sky is 'competing' with the color of the planes in my opinion (difficult to explain sorry), so some 'tweaking' somehow, not sure.
Hey, the bottom guy is lagging!
Seriously, though, wonderful capture. Sure meets the challenge, as these are fast birds. For some reason, shots of airplanes may not score too high, just because of the lack of the wow-factor overall. While it is great capture, there are only planes in it and no other objects of interest.
Good luck!
