Country:  | Yes you have missed out one CC the Aerostars my local team from Weald Airdrome, for a civillian team who supply their own aircraft (Yak 50's&52's) I think they put on a very good show.
Theres a bit of video on their site http://www.aerostars.co.uk/ | |

Country:  | I voted for the Blue Angels. I have seen them all up there and I like the Blue Angels the best. I think they are all great though. I also really like what I saw the Russians do with there Mig-29's and Su-27's.

Country: | Ive seen them all up there. The Thunderbirds are great but the Blue Angels are deffinatly better.
One team that I really really like (I can not remember there name though) is the British Helicopter Acrobatic Team. They are really great. They use Lynx and Gazelle helicopters. Was a really good show.

Country: | snowbirds? Who uses the F-15 for acrobatics? I know that no US team (or atleast one that I have heard of uses them) The Thunderbirds use the F-16 and the Blue Angels use the F-18.

| too bad.. i think with the thrust to weight ration of the f-15.. it could stunt pretty well.

Country: | Some of the Angels close flying looks bloody close to me as a layman.
I think each team has its specialties so its very hard to pick one, the Arrows precision is superb and the Frecce are very elegant and using the tenth plane is unique to them.
So I'm not going to vote for any single team as each pilot is amongst the elite aviators around the world. | |

Country: | You just hit the nail there track. They are all very very good and each has what they do the best in. I will just never ask the Frecce Tricolori to do the heart maneuver that they did at the Rammstein Airshow. I was there and it was not pretty. Many people got hurt and some pilots lost there lives.

| I have not had the pleasure to see the European shows but I have seen a half dozen private teams, the Thunderbirds, Snowbirds, and the Blue Angels they are all great but so far the Blue Angels seem to have a wider range of maneuvers so I'll give them the nod.
I have heard there is an F-15 team that will start shows next year. I think they are mostly east coast and support for the Thunderbirds but it will be a great show.
