Newbie aircraft photographer

Just acquired a new digital camera (Panasonic FZ-5) and I am planning to give it a run out taking some aircraft photos. I am planning to go to the Yorkshire Airshow next month, but was going to go to MAN to get a bit of practice on slower moving objects beforehand!

The camera has various settings from fully auto to fully manual. I just wanted some advice on how best to take good pictures of moving aircraft, shutter speeds, aperture settings etc. I don't have a tripod, but the camera has image stabilising software which is quite effective.

Which is best to do, track the aircraft and take the picture or wait for it to come into shot?

Assume I am a total newbie, as I have only really done "point and shoot" before!
