But, can the blue angels compete with the cyp donks? Doubt it very much, different leaque mate.

Wow, so you are saying the Red Arrows are that bad in comparison to the Blue Angels. I had no idea it was like this.

the Red Arrows use nine aircraft in their display - how many do you have? i rest my case.
When you can roll 22 aircraft in formation come back and we will talk some...

If you need that many to make an impression, then maybe they are doing something wrong ot not good enough.

WOW four planes together - taken with a large telephoto lens of around F2.8 maximum apeture which compresses distance.
Ive seen the Blue Angels as well - good but no cigar im afraid old boy.
The original is the best. No other display team has nine aircraft in close formation display...they do because they can....

sorry london is full

Screw London and their red arrows!I hope they all collide mid-air over London bridge, the pickle or the set of East Enders. Use the Co2 Emmissions/money for something productive instead of phallic compensation. A Clean water program in an African Country or something would be better . What use are the red phallic arrows?

Cyprus is also full of Brits. Why don't they PISS OFF too! Indians, Africans and Pakistanis never colonized Cyprus. I hope they take over Britanistan and full Sharia is imposed with a Mosque every 20 meters. Then a few decades later they can ethnically cleansed the Brits too. If your are not Cypriot PISS OFF!

What a nutter!

I don't know how close the Red Arrows get, but the Blue Angels get less than a few feet of each other in formation...and then do a loop.

See, this is what I was looking for, an opinion of someone who has seen both.
However, remember that the Red Arrows use trainers and the Blue Angels use fighter jets. Also, the Blue Angels are the oldest official team and the British were also not the first to have an aerobatics team far from being "original".....so I guess you can say the Brit's aerobatics team are copycats.

We beggars can't be choosers. The Red arrows come to Cyprus,the Blue Angels don't , so we see the same year after year.

I would refer you to the Hendon Airshows in England just after WW1..
I got tired of all that saluting, arm waving intro on the ground before even taking off BS when the Angels started their display - a bit tedious what?
And the Blue angels have twice the accident rate with half the aircraft..
however this is getting a bit tedious for non flying types so please look at youtube and check out the clips on there - theres a couple of the Arrows in U.S -watched by the blue angels..
