The experience of shooting airshows with the 5DS has raised some issues.
Main issue is having to buy a new hard drive once a month.
The other is finding myself removing bug splats with the dust removal tool.

Practice day is probably the most fun- less people and a chance to experiment with settings. Sometimes it's impossible to get the perfect shooting location during the show. The other benefit is getting a chance to shoot statics before all the barriers and people surround them.

Nice shot of an interesting plane Keith. I was thinking the similar when you pointed out the spinner but apparently it rotates, providing power to the actuator of the variable-pitch propeller.
