I shoot RAW exclusively these days for anything. RAW format has it's strengths and weaknesses, but I think one excellent strength related to photographing aircraft is the ability to adjust the exposure level more than you could with a JPEG. That can save some shots that may be over- or under-exposed.
I highly recommend Lightroom. It's expensive at retail, but find a person who will let you use their student discount and the price drops a lot! It makes post-processing your pictures very easy. The nice thing is that if you have a thousand photos from an airshow, you can batch process them so you don't have to go through them individually. Also, if you don't feel like post-processing them at all, you can just go ahead and export them to whatever format you want, like JPEG.
