I have watched almost all of the Display Teams....and each team has its own attraction but for sheer Pizazz I rate the Italian Team at the top. Mind you the requirement for the Teams to fly along the show line and not across the line hampers the Italian Team.

I watched them at the Agusta factory and their show start was fabulous....directly from behind the factory building/hangars with gear/flaps down...streaming colored smoke...and unseen/unheard until overhead at about a couple of hundred feet maybe. Children cried...women wailed....and Men almost wet themselves withe sudden onset of noise...smoke...and mulitple jets in close formation.
