It's been 30+ years since I've seen the Thunderbirds. I've seen the Blue angels a couple times the last few years.

The Blue Angels are unbelievable. I remember being impressed with the Tunderbirds, but I don't remember being blown away like I was with the Blue Angels.

I’ve seen both in the last couple years and they are both incredible. One thing that impresses me about the blue angels is the guy that narrates the show. It’s so perfectly choreographed that he never so much as looks at the planes and describes what is happening perfectly and right on time as it’s happening.

I have a personal preference for the Thunderbirds but both have loud fast jets and that is all that matters to me.

Both are awesome. Thunderbirds are louder so my kids prefer blue angels.

I prefer the Thunderbirds.

But I’m biased since my dad was a Thunderbird my first 2 years of high school.

Dale’s Air Tractor Show out of Eudora, AR.


Ive always liked the F-16. So Thunderbirds. but, I’ve always felt the Thunderbirds planes needed to have more red.

My dads side of the family is from Eudora.

But Eudora MS, not Eudora AR.

Is that why you’re in Memphis? Eudora is an area of ground outside of senatobia in the delta right?

It’s just south of Memphis in Desoto County. Senatobia is in Tate County.

Moms family is from Memphis and Hammond area.

I don’t brag too much about Eudora and Hammond.

The Blue Angles’ Pensacola Beach show is what summer life is all about.

Blue angels because navy pilots are better than Air Force pilots.

Bert Jones' brother was Thunderbird so they should be the official air demonstration team of LSU.

No such thing. The navy has “naval aviators”.

Depends which aircraft you like. Their routines are very similar.

The Blue Angels are my favorite, though they're both REALLY good.
