They look good uncovered and working too!

don't like the composition/tilt on the 2nd shot.

Liking the 1st one but I'd soften the darkening in the top corners a touch.

Tilt in the second is ok for me, have you tried a crop with a bit more taken off of the left side to move the tail plane a bit further off-centre?

Mildenhall's birds are still the easiest to pick out with that nose paint.

I can see where you are coming from... I have a personal liking to tilted images. Thanks for the comment.

I agree, but I just flew on this one to Wake Island and it was sitting on the flight line waiting to return me hom.

Thanks for mentioning the darkening on the edges. The more I look at it, the more it seems too much. I will also play with the crop and post later. Thank for the critique.

Cool shots! I wish they were not covered so we can see the fan blades... :)
