First pic: Good idea, but light is in the wrong direction. Your subject is backlit, and it's also tilting down to the right. If you are just uploading prints, that's an easy fix in any photo editing program. The backlit situation cannot be fixed.
#2 & #3; good concept, light is in a good spot, but subject is in the distance. I know you have limitations there, so I'm not going to bust your shoes over that.
#4 Cargoitalia, this could have been a nice shot, it's too bad all that crap is in front of the aircraft, same with the Southern Air 743's. Light will be even better later in the afternoon, but, I'm sure you took these when you could.
The Air Force Gulfstream, here is a good example of shoot it if it's rare even if the light sucks. I'm sure you probably shot while you were working, so you probably could not get a better angle. However, if you could have been on the other side, this would have a much stronger shot.
Finally the AA MD80...Sigh...I guess you have that attraction to those aircraft. To me that's just a bad angle for that aircraft, and the way the sun is hitting it, the shiny aluminum is way overexposed in spots.
So all in all, a good set of shots, looks like you are listening to what we are saying and improving. Keep it up, you'll get there.
