The British Red Arrows are generally regarded to be best in the world.
yea these guys blow compared to the red arrow’s and they dress like thunderbirds puppets
Real pilots fly real aircraft, not trainers like the Red Arrows.
The red arrows use trainers a). to keep operating costs down and b). the other aircraft they have access to are too heavy for low speed aerobatics (the harrier, F3 tornado, jaguar or euro fighter). The blue angles how ever always use front line aircraft (f18’s at the moment i think), and by “coincidence” they have a MASSIVE accident ratio, with more than a few fatalities in the last few years.
F18’s may be seen by you to be ‘real aircraft’ but they are not capable of half of what a red arrow hawk can do, they’re too heavy and have too much wing area.
Bernie:
The Blue Angels have had THREE accidents since 1990, two fatal (1999 & 2007). Before that the last fatality was 1985. Demo teams had many more accidents in smaller trainer aircraft like the A-4 and T-38, which are lighter, have smaller wing area and are more maneuverable.
YEAH !!
Didn’t know Jack Sparrow had joined the US Navy!
*that’s how I get to work every day*
I wasn’t slagging off the Blue Angels’ so don’t be ignorant and slag off the Red Arrows, I was just pointing out that they are the worlds most famous and respected air display team.
er…yes they are. mate if u saw the red arrows they are by far the better unit. iv seen both and that is fact…as well as pilots wanting to join the red arrows are tested and examined much more thoroughly trained hence why they dont go crashing into each other like the blue batty boys
i like cheese.
Yes they are
I am lucky enough to see the Blue Angels practice twice a week right over where I work and live in Pensacola FL. I have seen other flight teams, but nothing compares to the Blue Angels.
Lol italians+rammstein. There is also the air forces thunderbirds though, who do more international venues and use the lighter f16 falcon. Plus who cares who’s better I would give my left nut to see any of them in performance.
No they’re not.
