The Red Arrows for me, but I'll go with the Blue Angels here.

I've always been a Blues fan.  I don't know if its the paint scheme, the F-18, or the manuevars, but I just like them. :)

"Thunderbirds are go"

Works with puppets, not F16s I'm afraid.


I prefer the blues of those in the poll.

Never seen the Angels just the Thunderbirds and I have to say I prefer the Reds.

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.

Snowbirds all the way - but of the two choices, it's kinda like apples and oranges, IMO - they're very different teams. It'd be impossibloe for me to pick without some more specific criteria - choreography, formation flight, manoeuvers? Both equally great, IMO.

Can I qualify my answer ?.....

When the Blue Angels were flying the F-11 Tiger....they were my fav, but when the Thunderbirds flew the F-100, well, they were my fav ......

There was a time though, when it was quite hard to decide.........

Being in the Air Force I know due to political jargon, they will never let the Thunder Birds be as good as they should be, like The Blue Angles.....to many rules and restrictions. :P :-/

No, there aren't 50 billion AFI's and other stupid regs to follow... oh wait.

Definitely the Thunderbirds, but I think the whole being in the Air Force thing makes me biased.
