This is for Lt Col Charlie Brown retired Air Force.

From the Tower USAF Thunderbirds

I am Navy Blue Angels, but the Air Force Thunderbirds have always been Top Gun. They are amazing year after year.

SSgt (Join to see) is it not overwhelming when something is so good you simply cannot choose. I love my Navy (An Officer and a Gentleman - jets!!!). Air Force Thunderbirds roar!!!

PO3 Phyllis Maynard and SSgt (Join to see) I haven't seen the Blue Angels show since they were in the McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II. I have seen the current aircraft down on Gulf Shores, AL when they are out practicing over the Gulf, and on video. I have seen the current version of the Air Force Thunderbirds and other versions of the aircraft as well.
I do like both of the teams, but I believe the Blue Angels have just a slight edge on the spectacular. And I do mean slight. It maybe that I have watched the Thunderbirds so many times.

I was a private pilot...and being allowed to be called a Pilot, when you see what these guys and gals do in the air....sheesh. That's like the difference between Tom Brady throwing a football and me. Or LeBron and me playing one on one...not even close. LOL
