Airshow with 60D: what did I do wrong?

+ 1 to that too !! Far too many airshows place the spectator to the North ( or east ) of the runway so that photographs are shot into or nearly into the sun. Of course many of them don't have a choice for one reason or another . Thankfully Fairford doesn't suffer from this particular issue !
