Children's science show at the local Air & Space museum- 10 FPS, lighting was lousy. A professor from the university was demonstrating rocket fuel (alcohol and and oxygen )

A photography friend of mine always talks about how my 7DII is basically wildlife and sport only and wonders why I choose to take it over my 5DIII when Im unsure of what Im going to be photographing, I keep telling her that in some ways its more versatile than my full frame. These couple of shots look fine to me

I love my 7D2, especially wearing the 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II lens. However I have recently added a battery grip to that combination and it appears to balance better.

I got quite tired following these very fast model airplanes...

and I realized that I did not get as tired using the lens with my 6D2 which is gripped so, I purchased a Canon grip for the 7D2 and love using that combination with the long and relatively heavy 100-400 Mk.ii The extra weight seems to help the balance...

That is a fun looking shot and that is a nice lens. Sharp. I can't believe there is some prop blur at 1/2000. Those little engines sure have high RPM. Two things I'm concentrating on is prop blur and panning. Next time try 1/1000 or 1/500.

Check this post out. The 1/400 has really nice blur.

I find the grip rather awkward [and even painful] in portrait orientation...

Went to the lake to shoot birds, but ended up getting shots of the grandson chasing the pigeons.

Hey wait. The 7D Mark II is a sports and wildlife camera ONLY, right? You can't use it for landscapes, especially with a EFs lens and expect to get anything decent, correct?. Yeah, right. Excellent shots which make it clear that the 7D Mark II can be very effectively used for landscapes. Its mostly about the shooter anyway, not the gear.

1/400th is really too fast for good prop blur.
I have been having a lot of neck and back issues lately so I have been using higher shutter speeds than I want, due to pain I was only able to take a few photos at the last airshow I went to, I never tried lower than 1/250th of a sec., In this case it was way too fast still.

That is true. I guess it depends on the rotation speed at the time of the shot. I had read 1/320 but like you I have had to go to 1/160 but it gets a little shaky for me even with IS.

Messing around in the backyard taking some shots of some backyard critters with my 100-400 F/4.5-5.6II + 1.4 III extender. My backyard is not as good as Jeff's.

On take off I imagine they are spinning the prop faster than the flybys during the shows, I wanted to go slower as I got used to panning but old age is catching up with me. I started at 1/250th but next time if I go I think I will start at 1/160th, that way if I have to quit early again I still should get in a few decent shots.
