What a ridiculous idea. They fly completely different aircraft so their routines are very different (not to mention most members here won't have seen both!) so trying to say which is better is impossible.

I've had the great good fortune to see both (I've seen the Reds far more times however) and I have to say the Turkish Stars are just the maddest display team on the planet 8-)

;D Never seen them, but if YOU'RE saying that, they must be mad  ;D ;D ;D

Makes me kinda proud that my Dad is from Turkey  :P

I've never seen the Red Arrows, but the Blue Angels were downright amazing when I say them. Tough choice.

yeh, so that takes it down to more or less personal preference. the blue angels (in what ive seen of them) just go simple formations but the arrows do some crazy ass stuff such as the chippo (or however ya call it) break away and the spinning around trails

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Unfortunately that 'mad' commentator is no longer with the team (so is my understanding - have only seen them once at Mildenhall '98). I think that's who most people remember the Turkish Stars for!

To illustrate your point, a video I uploaded a while ago:

Turkish Stars, ladies and gentlemen! Hooray! Hooray!
