If i'm missing a european group i'm sorry...they don't come over here often.  Please inform me of a european group and i'll try to add it to the list.

My choice would be for the snowbirds...so many planes flying such amazingly tight patterns.

I've only ever seen the Blue Angels once so that is where my vote went.  I was probably about 6 at the time so I don't remember much about it.

Blue Angels are awesome.  Can't beat them, no matter how hard you try.

Blue Angels. I've seen the Thunderbirds as well, but the Angels are better.

I've only seen the thunderbirds but they were doing stunt video crap with those planes, crazy stuff.

The lead pilot signed a thunderbird shirt for me when I was little, & gave me a thunderbird plane pin which is on my flag now.

I've heard the blue angels are crazy good as well, never heard of the snowbirds.

"The Red Arrows" Dude Uk flyin squadron

But I assume they are all pretty similar close flyin, flyin in formation etc.

Lol the thunderbirds - they are a old puppet style kids tv show in the uk that save the world every episode really dodgey cos u can see all the strings and bad set design, but it has kind of become cult now.

Seen all these groups at one point or another.  I voted for the Thunderbirds, though, they ussually require more airspace therefore fewer hills/trees for the "proper" viewing.  They are incredible, the airspeeds they maintain on average are amazing.  Respect them all, doing anything that these guys do takes talent and dedication in abundance.

Blue Angels get all the press, lol.  I would like to see the Thunderbirds get more PR.  I voted for the Blue Angels because they are so good at visual tricks.
