Nice set,they are in the uk this year lets see how they stand up to the reds.

I presume you haven't seen them before. I saw them at Mildenhall a few years back and to be completely honest, they made the Red Arrows look like a bunch of amateurs, their formation flying is so much tighter.

I`ve seem the Thunderbird's, Blue Angels, Snowbirds and Red Arrows at airshows over the years, and to be honest the best thing about the Thunderbirds is the planes and the music they play while displaying, they say themselves that they do manovers any trained military pilot can do. They do a nice display, but they do not touch the Red Arrows, or the Blue Angels, both of them are excellent, and would choose either of them every time over the Thunderbirds. The Thunderbirds might fly a tight formation, but they are not as an exciting display as the Red Arrows or Blue Angels, in my opinion.
