What is your ISO setting on these? they look a little grainy as if the camera have felt a lack of light. If possible go with a lower iso; that can be counteracted by lack of light, however.
Other than that, take many shots, some might turn out better than others, and the rest can be dumpted.
Disclaimer, I use the FZ18 without the tcon, so cannot help further.

My FZ18 lives in the iso-max 400 mode, which often will make it choose iso 200 if the light is somewhat good. The iso 400 shots I get are about as grainy as yours. If that is the only problem, then a noice reduction program might do the trick; I use Noiseware from Imagenomic, and like it (don't use the in-camera noice reduction if your camera works somewhat like mine, it is overdoing the stuff). I have not made a lot of flight shots but some with Caribbean Martins came out OK: I use aperture priority, open up the lens fully, and maybe set the measuring control to -1/3 (the slightly darker images can be lightened afterwards in photoshop). If the sky is the background, I will change the focus point to the somewhat larger, high speed square, if the bird flies so low that the background becomes bushes etc let the focus point stay at smallest possible center square. As I said above, camera on continous, take plenty of images.
Hope this helps.
