This year I've decided to visit AirPower airshow in Zeltweg Austria.

All taken with my R5 with RF 100-500, some with 1.4x converter.

As for parameters: all on electronic shutter, Tracking AF (all area) with subject set to "none", Av with Auto ISO (with manual modifications for some propeller photos)

I'm curious why you chose to use Av with Auto ISO. My go-to for air shows is Manual with Auto-ISO. I typically leave the RF100-500 at f11 and then adjust the shutter speed based on the motion blur I want to achieve (vs. the better hit rate at higher shutter speeds). I typically use an ND4 with prop planes to keep the ISO above 100 at slower shutter speeds.

I also have the RF 100-500mm. What density ND filter do you recommend. They are usually available in 0.6 to 1.5 density. When I shot propeller planes at slow shutter speeds (no ND filter used), it resulted in f number between f10 to f19.

When I shot an air show recently I used a CPL to slow the props down.  Since I didn’t need more than a stop, it served a dual purpose.  😁
