Last time I saw them was back in 1997 at the Interenational Air Feat in England. It was a great airshow.

Being a navy brat I gotta vote for the Blue Angels, saw them when I was a kid they were still flyin' the F-4 back then. I lived right by the airport they did thier show in Florida and Boss flew so low I could damn near see his nose hair. As for thier C-130 support plane all I can say is R.A.T is freekin' kewl.

I agree the Blue Angels are the best for me also and I have seen them several times but all of the Aerobatic teams are awesome and do wonderful jobs and are fun to watch!

In my opinion Russian Knight is the best aerobatics team in the the world.
There uniqueness lies in the fact they are only one who perform aerobatics with heavy fighters.
As you all might be knowing that heavier the plane harder to control it.
Thus east or west RUSSIAN KNIGHT are the best.

In what terms? Heavy in weight or on the control? The heavier an aircraft is the easier it is to penetrate rough air. They fly Su 27s with a good flight control system. Its weight has nothing to do with their ability to fly formation aerobatics....

With fly by wire technology it does not matter if your aircraft is heavy....

Has anyone seen the Australian Aerobatic Team, the Roulettes, in action? I haven't, just wondering if they're any good.

I think they're fantastic, very professional. Just a shame they use the PC-9 and not something more "sexy" such as F/A 18's.

That is true, I reckon the F/A 18 is a damn fine plane. The Wide Bay International Air Show is on in Bundaberg QLD, Australia on the 3 4 5 August. I'll have to double check my facts, but I think the Roulettes are appearing.

I had to vote for the Blue Angels even though I was an AF guy. From a the time I was a kid I would watch them practice from my back yard and fly over my house to make a landing. First I remember the F9Fs, then the F11Fs, the F-4s, A-4s, and finally the F-18s. The is much more polished now and the flying appears tighter and manuevers more impressive. The F-18, I think, made a big difference.

I am sure they are all great, but Blues have my heart.
