Use a fast shutter speed, relatively high ISO (400 or 800), lens all the way to 200mm, and use “panning” to capture the action.
Fast shutter speed!
Parked or flying?
Parked, try to find some unusual positions to take pictures from. Standard shots are directly from the side or from the front off to the side. Take a picture right down the nose or from the tail.
Flying, I’ll assume daytime, so work in Shutter Priority mode and set your shutter speed to as fast as you can while still maintaining a good aperture (f8 or above). If this requires adjusting your ISO, try to not go above 800 to avoid noise. (I can’t recall if the D80 has a 100 ISO or not, but I think it does.) Still, daylight, you should be able to shoot ISO 100 or 200 and still get good speed and aperture.
Plan on your arms getting tired as you’ll be holding it with two hands and panning a lot, waiting for that perfect shot.
Which show?
