Thunderbirds are better

I saw the BAs a few months ago and last year the TBs. I like the TBs better.

I saw them at an air show near my house. pretty cool except they took like 2 hours to get in their damn jets.

the BLue angels are the shit, though they come down here at least once a year, they fly the most manuverable plane in the world, well excluding the SU27. and have a whole bunch of other craft that come with them. and one of these days id love to see the Thunder Birds, and their f16s.

and if you dont consider them elite, just remember the stunts they do, and the planning required. flying 6 feet from each other is hard

The Blue Angels come to my hometown for the air show every year. They practice for a week before the show and it drives us all nuts. The do a lot of runs up and down the Mississippi.
What amused me this year is how impressed the Blue Angels were with the barnstormers. They normally don't allow them because barnstorming is so dangerous but they did it a couple times this year. The Angels thought the barnstormers were crazy.

2 simple reasons why you shouldn't ph34r them

Half right, half wrong (I think).

1. The planes dont go into battles
2. The pilots do.

So you wont know wether to shit your pants if its them or not, i would just for the hell of it cause you'd be dead either way.

And teh hercules is awsome, it does some really low flybys over the warf and drops crates (i think crates) into the bay.
Though I never saw it with the rockets (besides that pic)

What I wana see is the BA flying formation aorund the Hecules, that be sweet.

Touche' bugger. You are correct. The pilots are drafted from a group of Naval Combat Aviators. But the tactics/formations you see are not used in combat
