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....

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.

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..

The Canadians (the "other" Americans) were first, look it up.
