This is an issue even with pro photographers, several items of concern is movement, depth of field, minimum focal distance. I am not familiar with your aircraft but if you can, pull back a little, focus on the face as best as possible then crop in your post processing with your software. In the...

Nothing better than good friends with a common interest. Welcome!

Welcome ... Good people here.
