Aesthetic: Beautiful capture. You were at right place at right moment for this one. Very pleasing photo with just one subject to focus on. The background of smoke and dark sky compliments the contrasting color of biplane.
Technical: Not much comments but I feel white balance needs to be adjusted. It seems to be little towards colder side.
Challenge: Well...anything would fit into this challenge theme..so no comments on this one :)
Conclusion: I feel a bit of warmer color balance, some dodging on plane (maybe some saturation and sharpening too..only for plane) and following rule of thirds will make it ideal poster picture. This is strong composition which needs complimentary post-processing.

The aeroplane make a lovely colourful splash against the sky and the smoke trail is well capture. I wonder whether this might benefit from a tighter crop at the sides.
Very unique and thought provoking. I sat looking at it for several minutes and realized "a picture is worth a thousand words" This would have made a great cover for The Lions Game Good luck with this, I hope that it will be considered and appreciated for what it is worth. Had I been able to vote, I would have given a 10!
Nice capture.
I think this works well centred in the picture. I may have been tempted to clone out the cloud on the right.
Doesn't matter though, still a great image.

I confess I am an airplane enthusiast and a pilot, so maybe this will appeal to me more than to others. But I thought this was a superb capture. I like the smoke with the aircraft coming straight towards me. Looking at the angle of the wings, it is clearly an aerobatic aircraft (Is that a Rusian Yak?) The photo has another aspect which I like very much ... it is as interesting as a thumbnail as it is full size. In any event, it is among my top picks. Well done!
I like the deep blues and the smoke as the background contrasting with the red plane. If the plane were just a little bigger it might have helped it some more-5-
