@Spad
The plane shot was getting dark but it was still light if that makes sense! Handheld at 450mm I always use 500 as the shutter speed. Normally I have the lens on F5.6 and then let the camera set the ISO. Wrongly use F8 so the ISO consequently was higher than needed.
Did you over expose it or go with what the cameras exposure said?

Is the one of the plane shot late afternoon. near dusk or at dusk??? If so ignore the camera metering in these conditions. Dusk or near dusk is also an absolute bugger to shoot in. Which is a shame because you can get some epic results!
Most cameras have a sweet spot iso range in bad light conditions. I have found out the only way to find it, is play with the camera. Unfortunately it may involve using a monopod or tripod.
When playing with high iso settings, the thing I'd recommend is go out and play with the camera. Learns its little quirks and find its niche.
If you think you can just set a high iso then and get perfect images, unless you are paying thousands for top of heap Canon or Nikon. It's not gonna happen.
Sometimes tho.... noise can add to an image... especially in really weird weather conditions!

I am wondering if it could be caused by browsing here on our phones?? As most phones browsers, unless closed correctly, will keep a connection to a website open.
