What lens do I need?

I don't think the Lumix is a true SLR and the link is for a 45-200mm zoom lens. It depends what you want to capture but for higher altitude shots, most of the active photographers I know use an SLR with a 400mm IS lens costing around £1,000.
Maybe consider an alternative such as the Panasonic DMC-FZ150 or other bridge camera?
Tom Drake, a very experienced and well known aviation photographer, has posted a very interesting message about swapping from a very expensive SLR setup to a lower cost bridge camera. His DMC-FZ150 has a 24 x optical zoom lens that's the equivalent of 25-600mm and all for around GBP £300.
