Love them all. I've been to see T-Birds & B.A. and Snowbirds at NAS Willow Grove . Unfortunately, NASWG is closing. Guess I'll have to go to McGuire now. McGuire is a little farther but it should still be worth it. I could sit on my front lawn and watch the show at WG if I wanted to. They all put on awesome shows.

I'm an airplane freak, so I'll vote for all of them.

I voted for both of them also. I've seen both shows and think they're equally great! What you don't realize is any show will consist of all the services together. The Army Black Knights are usually there along with an Air Force A-10 or F-22, Navy F-18, civilian arobatic bi-plane, and all the static displays. Heck, some day both the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels could be flying the same aircraft if the DoD has their way!

Yes, impressive. But only the Thunderbirds can pull 9 G's sustained in the Falcon

BTW, full disclosure, I knew a guy who was a Blue Angel aviator. Those guys, the T-birds, and the Snowbirds are all incredible aviators. I've seen all three, and it's impossible to pick a clear winner. The Angels have the techniques, the T-birds have the speed, and the Snowbirds have the grace.

It'll be cool to see what happens when the Angels and T-birds get the F-35. Imagine a VSTOL feature in the show!
