I admit,it has not been easy, I have tried to take images of these birds courting in mid air with every camera and lens combo for past four years and I got a few far away shots but, none as good as these. These birds fly at a supersonic speed and change their pattern so fast that it is hard to keep up with them and keep the focus on at all times.
So, I tried sorter focal length albeit a faster speed and waited for these shots. Yet, I had to crop them 100%so, you can imagine AF of the camera to get these shots.

Thank you
