All those airplane model shots were take with IS in mode 3 if anyone is interested.

Why did you use IS Mode 3?

It does not kick in until the actual exposure, IS can interfere with AF when tracking.

That is a surprising comment. I think most people (and according to the manual) would use IS Mode 2 when tracking. Did you find that Mode 3 worked better for you than mode 2?

I also find electronic shutter and H+ to help with tracking. I find with this combination in with IS Mode 2, the AF keeps locked onto the planes. My main worry is motion blur at shutter speeds between 1/60th and 1/125th at focal lengths typically between 150mm and 500mm (and sometimes up the 700mm).

I seem to find that if I used EFC shutter, the AF tracking was not as good as it was with the electronic shutter. I assumed this was due to the shutter interrupting the sensor's view.

I briefly experimented with hand holding with a long focal length in mode 3, I found the view through the viewfinder to be very jumpy, making it hard to track the plane. But I only tried it for a short time before giving up.
