That's a good shot and good advert for the camera BUT....

For its price, the camera is a way over the top end bridge camera. I've had a couple of those from Fuji and Minolta in the past and once dust gets into the body, and it will, you are into a great deal of angst and expense. Sony say they have adequate moisture and dust sealing, but so does every other bridge camera.

Then there is the electronic viewfinder. I have a Sony a58 which has an electronic viewfinder. Useless for panning and burst shooting with a big lens so my 150-500 lens stays on my a300. I use the a58 for landscapes, portraits and general work where motion isn't a problem.

With the sort of money wanted in the USA and UK for the RX10 III you can buy a good mid range DSLR, and one or more good zoom lenses to cover the range of aircraft shots required.
