On the other hand, I don't notice much difference at all between F5.6 and F8-10 on my 100-400. As a result, I almost always shoot at F5.6, unless I want to get some panning motion-blur.

I've tried a few different settings to capture fast jets in Aperture Priority mode at f/5.6 with the shutter speed in normal daylight conditions
reaching approx 1/1600s (at base iso) which seems to work great but on occasion the shutter has climbed way up to 1/4000s producing un-sharp images as the light intensifies nearer the sun. In this case I fix the shutter speed in Shutter priority mode to resolve the problem.
My question is I would have thought faster shutter speeds would elimate any camera shake and freeze the action so I cannot explain how they could be not be sharp. Any ideas how this could be occurring?
Thanks!
