That's the Golden Knights, Time, and they get my vote as well. Heh, nope, he didn't specify _what kind_ of aerobatics. :twisted:

You have a problem with the cadet aerobatic team, it doesn't exist so you are correct.

but USMA-Black Nights
 
You didn't _say_ USMA, Time. You said "Army". The Army team is the Golden Knights. I don't have any problem with the Black Knights either. Appears you might have a problem though with being corrected.
 
we have a team like that called the "roulettes"
i think a poll about who is best is pointless, when ur a pilot at that level you are the best of the best at stunt flying. im sure if they all did the same thing, differences would be marginal, what prolly makes the most difference is the amount of media attention they recieve

Because New Zealand has no air force anymore.

sad but rue i'm afraid, govt decided to back out of a deal that would've seen NZ purchase f-16's that were a cancelled order for pakistan
 
well it's true, unless you like steaming mud and coal and ummmm flightless birds. there isn't alot of strategic value
 
It's quite scenic though. My father sure loved New Zealand when he was there during WWII. There and Australia as well. Always wanted to go back. I'm very happy he was finally able to do so the year before he died. I have a dear friend in New Zealand and hope to visit him there someday myself.

and you'll be very welcome charge, after all this is middle earth! you have to look hard for the hobbitsis
 
I've seen both the Blue Angels and the Snowbirds fly before but none of the others. I can't really put in an educated vote, but I'm still going to say the Snowbirds.
 
Aparrently I've met Capt. Myles Selby (The pilot who was killed in the Snowbird accident in December). He lived in the city I was raised in until I was 5.
 
TURKISH STARS IS THE ONLY AEROBATIC TEAM IN THE WORLD WITH 8 SUPERSONIC AIRCRAFT (NF5).
Turkish Stars is performing their air shows with 900 kms/h. If you watch some Turkish Stars air show, then you will feel that the others is LIKE SLOW MOTION.
Best tight formations and manuevres are presented by Turkish Stars till now.
The BEST AEROBATIC SHOW IN THE WORLD TILL NOW IS:
Turkish Stars - (AirPower09 Zeltweg Austria 2009)

The Blues' fastest pass is 1200 km/h - don't talk trash unless you have all the facts ;)

BEST AEROBATIC TEAM IN THE WORLD IS TURKISH STARS

COMPARISON OF FRECCE TRICOLORI & TURKISH STARS

Frecce Tricolori use Aermacchi MB-339 PAN (max speed: 898 km/h; NOT SUPERSONIC) whereas Turkish Stars use NF5 (max speed: 1700 km/h; SUPERSONIC). If one watches 4 or 5 videos of Turkish Stars first and then s/he watches Frecce Tricolori, s/he feels as if s/he is watching A SLOW MOTION VIDEO; s/he cannot endure to watch 1-minute video of Frecce Tricolori since HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY CANNOT ENDURE A SLOW MOTION VIDEO OF MORE THAN 1-MINUTE. COMPARING TURKISH STARS AND FRECCE TRICOLORI is like COMPARING HORSE AND DONKEY.

COMPARISON OF RED ARROWS & TURKISH STARS

Red Arrows use Hawk T1A (max speed: 1037 km/h; NOT SUPERSONIC) whereas Turkish Stars use NF5 (max speed: 1700 km/h; SUPERSONIC). If one watches 4 or 5 videos of Turkish Stars first and then s/he watches Red Arrows, s/he feels as if s/he is watching A SLOW MOTION VIDEO; s/he cannot endure to watch 1-minute video of Red Arrows since HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY CANNOT ENDURE A SLOW MOTION VIDEO OF MORE THAN 1-MINUTE. COMPARING TURKISH STARS AND RED ARROWS is like COMPARING HORSE AND DONKEY.
Also, (anyway, for those who wish to see a small comparison):
Look at the videos of BOTH Red Arrows and Turkish Stars to see the difference:

COMPARISON OF BLUE ANGELS & TURKISH STARS

Turkish Stars is the only aerobatic team of the world that can make tight helix climbing!
Variants (Matrix, Tight helix climbing etc. as well as Delta, Victor, Diamond, etc.) of Turkish Stars is richer than the Blue Angels (Classics: Delta, Victor, Diamond, etc.)

A. Blue Angels’ tightness is bad when compared to that of Turkish Stars:

B. Number of Supersonic Jets:
Both are Supersonic whereas Turkish Stars fly with 8 jets, Blue Angels fly with 6 jets.
C. Discipline:
UN-disciplined Blue Angels (of US Army) versus ULTRA-disciplined Turkish Stars (of Turkish Army):
A.
On October 30, 2008 a spokesman for Blue Angels announced that the team would complete its last three performances of the year with five jets instead of six. The change was because one pilot and another officer in the organization had been removed from duty for engaging in an "inappropriate relationship". The Navy stated that one of the individuals was a man and the other a woman, one a Marine and the other from the Navy, and that Rear Admiral Mark Guadagnini, chief of Naval air training, was reviewing the situation. At the next performance at Lackland Air Force Base following the announcement the #4 or slot pilot, was absent from the formation. A spokesman for the team would not confirm the identity of the pilot removed from the team. On November 6, 2008 both officers were found guilty at an admiral's mast on unspecified charges but the resulting punishment was not disclosed.
B.Blue Angels pilots’ undisciplined behaviours continues in their shows as well (Hear the sounds of the pilots):
