You can - either by chaeting the ASA (half the ASA number) or by turning the Exposire compensation dial to 2x. This should compensate for the bright sky/background.

A 200 will get you even closer, but may be too close for some shots. I would also advise setting the exposure for at least one stop more than indicated (if you can on the ME Super - I can't recall!), as the underside of aircraft is often fairly deeply shadowed.
