Maybe 500mm was too much lens? 

Well, it is nice to have the option of cropping later if you choose.  I like this shot as is.  The colors on that Texan are great, especially in the soft light. I think a lot of photographers get caught up in the belief that clear skies provide the only acceptable light but many of my favorite shots have been taken under cloudy conditions.  It's like a giant soft box.

Not surprisingly there's an app to calculate depth of field.  It's pretty well done. I don't use it often but it has come in handy when I've known that I would need to shoot at the largest aperture (smallest number) possible and still have the subject in focus.  Sometimes you don't get a second chance!  It's called DOFMaster.

"Popeye" was shot at f/6.7 and was actually a little dark so I was pretty hard up against wide open on that day!

The yellow bird was at f/8 and probably should have been f/6.7

CAF SNJ on a low pass at DVT. I guess this passenger likes that open air feeling.
