Which acrobatics team would you like to see at AA2004
-
A question to lighten the mood of this forum, which Aerobatics Demonstration Team would you like to see at Asian Aerospace 2004?
My vote goes to the Swifts of Russia with their MiG-29s and the Blue Angels of the US Navy with their F/A-18s. Reason because of their beautiful colours and because they've never been here before.
Not that I'll be able to make it though, will be overseas...
Blue Angels
The Swifts

I like the Russian one better.
-
i would like to see russian swifts or knights too......raf hawks also
-
one team i dun want to see is the black knights, after watching the french, brits, usaf. i think the rsaf can keep their a-4s and f-16s. they are a national disgrace. back in aa00, one f-16 could not keep up with the formation during the barrel roll. at the top of the roll, it kind of lose thrust and had to drop back and rejoin later. the president was there to watch, so was the chief of air force and alot of pple too since its saturday.

I'd rather see some live firing... There's nothing like the blast of a Mk84. Great morale booster.
-
Bring back the hawker hunters...the sound of their engines is really one of a kind....like the harley davidson of fighters
-

I wouldn't call them a national disgrace, but you're right about Black Knight 6 being constantly out of position. Whats worse was the fact that the Patrouille de France and Roulettes setting the standards at the show, and these are professional full time teams compared to the Black Knights being a part time team.
I think we should save the Knights till 2006, and let AA06's team be one which is all A-4SUs, making it a memorable sendoff for the A-4SUs which are due for retirement in 2007.

Duotiga,
wasn't the piece on the Patrouille de France about the Paris Airshow? I saw the 2130 news, they had a piece about the start of the Paris show.
The problem with the Patrouille de France, Red Arrows and Roulettes was that although they had some of the best precision flying I've seen, their mounts are not "loud" (for want of a better word) enough.
