When it took to the skies, the earth trembled from the thunder of its great wings. From its eyes shot bolts of lightning. Nothing in nature could challenge the bird of thunder, and no man could stand againt it's powerful might

I have seen both and they do the same moves. There might be a few things different in each show but The two groups are alike. They perform basic combat moves they were taught in flight school. The big difference is that they do it with another plane 24 inches away. I personally like the Thunderbirds the best but the Blue Angles take off is cooler. The 5 and 6 Jet when they go off and the one does the dirty roll and the other will sometimes pull right into a vertical climb. It has been a couple of years since I have seen them so their shows maybe different

I have seen the Blue Angles perform and was thoroughly impress by them but I have not seen the Thunderbirds so I can’t say which one is better.

I can honestly say that they are both about equal in ability and the only differences are the planes and pilots themselves. The Airforce tends to be a bit more friendly when requesting material and information from them in regard to the team, like autographed posters, etc....

That's funny, when I'am on air-shows in Finland they cut off roads just so that poples can't see for free...

I suggest we all get together and petition them to do a one time only fly-it-till-the-wings-snap smackdown. Winner pulls the highest g, wingtips touching, hair on fire, stomach ulcer causing, vomit inducing stunt. I'd pay $5 and even up to $10 to see that, but not $25, that's too much.

It's hard to say who's better, but the blue angels certainly get the press don't they?
