I recently purchased a nikon V1 and i want to take shots of aircraft that overfly my house since i am on an approach fix to PVD. I would like some suggested settings and lenses. Aircraft pass 2000 to 1000 feet overhead. Also does anyone know any good spotting locations in RI?

Your asking a question that is unanswerable. it all depends on the available light at the time you are taking the photograph. i would stick to around the f8 mark on your aperture, you could leave it on aperture priority, your camera then determines the correct shutter speed based on your chosen aperture, but I personally don't like doing this.
i'm not familiar with your camera, but i presume it has a heavily cropped sensor (upon further research it has a 2.7x crop factor) so a 100mm lens on your camera would equal a 270mm lens on something like a Nikon D3s, which should be about the right focal length for the shot you are describing.
