Framing is good, I would raise the shutter speed though as these look to be out of focus due to motion blur. Although good of you to have managed to get the composition right with a lower shutter, that usually takes some practice! Lower shutter and you'll get sharper images.

I came here to say almost exactly the same thing.
The motion blur is good, framing is good, then work on the managing the brightness in the photos along with the shutter speed to get that crispness you need on the subject.
Not sure what camera the OP is using, but, eg: on a Canon you have the Tv and M modes - practice with those and get the brightness levels right too. Then start working in in raw mode, and experiment with final touches in Gimp (or the other paid one).
The shutter speed needs to be much faster on the Ryanair 737, and the aircraft blends too much into the background.
Overall however, really nice work. I particularly like the Transavia A321 and Iberia A320 at the beginning.

That comes in handy, i use a 2000D but i’ll try Tv and M next time

Tv mode will really help you as it is specifically design for shooting fast motion stuff. When you get a feel of the various settings, shutter speed, apeture etc, then start to move to M for finer control.
Also, set the camera in continuous mode - and get a BIG SD card - and don't be afraid of taking say, 20, 30 or more pictures at a time. OK, you'll end up agonising over which of two almost identical pictures, 10ms apart, is better :-)
The 2000D is an excellent camera to get started with - my 500D is just about approaching the end of its life now after 16 years of service. Also, find yourself a friendly camera club and attend some courses - it'll really help with technique.
Found this, some useful advice there: https://learn.zoner.com/camera-settings-for-capturing-fast-moving-subjects/
Look forward to seeing more pictures! :-)

Good photos! I think they could be improved though on the editing side. Watch some videos and follow editing tutorials and find a style you like. Lightroom is a great program for editing and is fairly beginner friendly as opposed to Photoshop.

Awesome shots! I’m not an aviation photographer (surfing and cars) but here’s my inexperienced 2 cents to improve already cool photos. Try to have the horizon be level when it’s in frame. Expose for the subject(plane) not the background.
Higher shutter speed if possible with your camera, or if slower shuttle speed is your style. Mess with it more. Try to get decide what style you want and develop multiple. Sunset dreamy, rainy haze, etc. mess around figure out the best settings for that (I’m sure it’s different with planes).

I will try this! Thanks! 🙏🏻

I like seeing planes and I liked seeing your pictures. I know nothing about photography but as an enthusiast I liked your pictures.

I'm personally not a huge fan of vignette but they're nice photos. Could be a little bit brighter. Nice photos though!

Trying putting a 3x3 grid on the viewfinder, it will help you keep the horizon flat. If you are using shooting modes, I'd suggest using sport mode to reduce motion blur.
However I admit to being a lazy photographer: if the standard modes work well enough, that's what I use, so I can concentrate on framing the shot as well as possible.

Great!
