Then again I don't get baller paychecks either. I'll just stick to buying lenses.

The 7D's AI Servo mode is its weak link. It just doesn't keep up as well as any of the 1D bodies or the 5D3. It's a shame, because it's otherwise such a great camera. I hope that the MkII version at least brings it up to the 5D3 level. With a slight improvement in high-ISO performance and the 5D3's AF system, it'll be a killer body. With all the parts on the shelf, I'd be surprised if they don't do that.
For military jets, I think that a 5D3 with the 1.4x and 2.0x TCs will do the trick, if your prime lens is f/4. Jets are relatively predictable, such that I don't think that the extra power of the 1D series will be needed.
