Who are better, the Royal Air Force, or the Blue Angels?

With manuvering, air shows, things like that.

Who are better, the Royal Air Force, or the Blue Angels?
I live just 3 miles from the East Coast home of the Blue Angels. I see and hear them practice all the time. I have been to their air shows many times and have even flown in the simulators they use.





They still amaze me every time I watch them. I have seen the Royal Air Force, but the Blue Angel pilots are all combat experienced, and lets face it, they also have carrier landing experience, which in itself is quite a feat of flying.





The thunderbirds are also excellent pilots, but they do not land on a rolling ship in the dark of night. Now that's flying.





Here is a link to the Blue Angels web sitel

Hope you find it enjoyable.
Reply:Your question doesn't make sense. You ask if a display team is better than a national air force?





In the event that you really mean " who are better, the Blue Angels or the Red Arrows" I'd have to say that it depends on your nationality and preferences.





In case that doesn't mean anything to you the "Red Arrows" are the RAF's aerobatic display team.
Reply:The RAF does have a precision team that I have seen at the "Paris Air Show". This air show "blew me away" because aircraft from all over the world are displayed and flown, i.e., MIG's, Mirage, etc.





U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds are terrific as well as U.S. Navy Blue Angels. I have seen both too many times to count. Others I have seen in person include Canada's precision team as well.





By far, Blue Angels and Thunderbirds are the best in the world!
