My thoughts for what they are worth.
Wing Walkers by RayW
Rather them than me! A well timed capture as the two biplanes break formation. I think it's great but, I also feel the composition would be improved with a little more space in the frame around the planes. What a thing to do and lovely capture, even a little blur in the ends of the props.
Heron in Flight by johnriley
A fast shutter speed has given a lovely sharp image of the Heron giving lots of lovely detail where we want it.
The Fly By by sueriley
Tail end shot with the Gannet fortunately looking in towards the cliff helps give a charismatic shot of this lovely bird being watched from the corner of the frame adds to the composition. If it were mine I would crop a thin strip from the right side of the image but, lovely enjoyable image.
Town Gull by Flan
Great naturally provided contrast with the dark background, on my screen it does look as if you've got slightly blow highlights, always a challenge in such situations but, lovely and sharp where it needs to be, lovely detail in most of the wing feathers.
gliding into the light by Chrispurple
This for me is a more artistic capture, overhead and the framing works a treat. A most appealing image.
Red Soldier Beetle by Lubbyman
Wow! A slow shutter speed for flying insect photography and perseverance has rewarded you with a fantastic shot. The wing blur really showing the energy required for this mini beast to take flight yet you've managed to give us a sharp head and torso, bravo!
A dragon fly in Flight- Rietvlei Nature Reserve by Noelcmn
Another very tricky insect to capture well caught. Again for my taste a good choice of shutter speed showing the wings as little more than a blur which helps give us the sense of movement and energy.
Starling Murmuration by PRYorkshire
A lovely shot of this amazing phenomenon. Great vantage point, great light and framing make for a very lovely and beautiful image.
Now for the places!
1st Place Lubbyman

Joint 3rd johnriley and PRYorkshire
HC's for everyone else for some lovely well captured In Flight photos, especially as we all know you can't take photos of moving objects with Pentax
