I agree with that, although I do love the 9 plane formation of the snowbirds so its a close decision. But I had to say the Blues.

I have only seen the Snowbirds when I was visiting my Uncle in Canada. What a sensational feeling, because this was my first time attending an airshow. Lovely birds, thus why it will get my vote. coz these are the only ones I have experienced of these three choices.Jesse Nielsen / Cimber Air F/A

As a Seattle boy, there is no contest....BLUE ANGELS 100%THE VOICE OF REASON HAS SPOKEN!
Pop quiz: Which US president said, "Saddam Hussein has spent the better part of this decade, and much of his nation's wealth, not on providing for the Iraqi people, but on developing nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them."
George W. Bush is not correct. It was Bill Clinton in his 1998 State of the Union speech. HMMMMMMMMM.Comment

8 PLANE WARRIOR FORMATION FTW!Originally posted by screaming_emu
Ok seriously, its close between the T-Birds and the Blues.
I'd say the blues because, I remember seeing them at MCAS El Toro Airshow (yep...a loooong time ago before it was closed)...and they killed it. One of them flew some 100ft right over the grandstands from behind and scared the sh*t out of everyone...it was awesome.Comment

I remember at San Francisco's "Fleetweek" airshow, where the Blue Angels are the main attraction, they did one of the coolest things I ever saw at an airshow. One solo pilot flew just feet over the water under the Golden Gate Bridge, and the other flew just feet over the water under the Bay Bridge. The 2 planes then did a spectacular crossover and I bet the people stuck in traffic on the bridges were going crazy! They got in trouble for this though, and they never were able to do it again.Comment

That's dumb. If you look at it, more skill is needed to land an airplane than it is to fly it underneath something with as much area as the golden gate.Originally posted by Crunk415ballaComment

Ya, and also keep in mind this was back in the 90's, still before 9/11. So I don't think the reason was security, and as you said it wasn't a really dangerous move to pull either.Originally posted by screaming_emu
Whatever the reason, when they did do it, it was awesome!

Yeah, its a good point that I got from an article in some magazine. A guy asked the FAA if he could fly through the arches in some national park in Utah. At first they said "well...probably not, but let us research and we'll get back to you". So after a while they looked through the regs, called him back and said "while we dont reccomend it...we can't find anything that says its illegal". Then the guy pointed out to them that he's flying through arches that are like 150 ft wide, people land on runways as narrow as 50 feet all the time.Originally posted by MaxPowerComment

Ya, and the Blue Angels are amoung the best pilots out there, so if they can fly feet apart in the air, this shouldn't have been a problem.Originally posted by screaming_emuComment
