Get over it.

Sorry BP, but having seen RA, BA and T'Birds I have to say RA win the best show award by far. The Yanks fly close and in after-burning F whatevers and very nice it is too, but for precision AND dynamic air-shows the RA team wins easily... And let's not forget that the RA guys have come off after-burning types heh? Typhoons or Tornadoes

Bunk Bed, Red Arrows are the best at putting on a show, it's not aggressive, just beautiful. People all over the planet love it and that's the point to promote Britain, the aircraft industry and non-aggresive good will.

Meanwhile US teams flying clapped out cold war A series types. Making big bangs and booms. (UK used to do this in the 1950's) These teams are for domestic Team America consumption, used only to keep the lines to the recruitment office supplemented with bright eyed young people.

Let me know when the US teams can field something as awesome as this:-
