It will be good to see the Angels back in the sky but the Thunderbirds might as well just stay on the ground; they've got to take the Worldwide Diamond Award for prima donna bull**** versus actual display. Huge posers, crap performance and an ideal way of saving the US military some $$s by keeping them on the tarmac. Not so the Blue Angels (yes, posers, but a good display and great formation flying).
After all the hype of the Thunderbirds appearing at RIAT a few years ago I have never been so disappointed than I was then, the Red's who displayed the same day were absolutely stonking despite having to do their flat display due low cloudbase, more like Blunderbirds than Thunderbirds
