With planes there is not a clutter around so not surprising “object” tracking is decent.

I have been practicing and experimenting at the public plane spotting location at DFW (they can get ~100 people on a busy evening) in prep for Wings Over Houston in October and Wings over Dallas in November. I'm trying to see what shutter speeds to use and to improve my panning technique.

What was TS and Switching Tracked Subjects set to?

Good question (that I discussed elsewhere in this topic under "Case").

Answer: For those shots, the Case controls (for others: AF/pink menu, tab 3) of Tracking Sensitivity and Accel/decel tracking were both set to -1. I did this when I first set up my R5 based on Jan Wegener's excellent R5 setup video (part on Case setup: https://youtu.be/-nnRqgXu7QI?t=945).
