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.

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.........

Blue Angels for me. Don't really know why, I just have always liked them better.

Cool

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. Tongue

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. Cool
