Awesome images!

I could make R6 on AirPower 2022 thread as I was there too Although, yours are much better

How you rate RF 100-500 L for aviation? I have 100-400 L II and don't know, on R6 I'm not fully satisfied with it.

I really like it for that purpose. Others like to use the 1.4 for moving targets but I've pulled it off and just use it for static shots. My keeps rate is better. I had the 100-400 II and the 100-500 is every bit as good. The R system has extra 4 pins for faster transmission speeds but it's hard to tell the difference. I trust it is doing something for me. The new flange design helps as well.

With my R and 100-500. I ordered both and got the lens first. I only had about 3 weeks with that combo. The R fit like a glove, it just didn't have FPS, etc. The R5 was an adjustment.

I have to say I did not get a lot of keepers of that day at the races but I got enough to have some fun.

This is with my R, 100-400II and 2X. As for my R5 I really wish it had been 30mp. I really liked my R image quality for my purposes.
