I saw the Red Arrows live many years ago, at the Essex Showground. Wife and I were away from the main arena and didn't know that they were soon
to arrive - the first things we saw were 9 landing lights suddenly appearing over a nearby tree-line. We were half-way between the main road and the
arena, which turned out to be their chosen flight-line for the singletons. When they did their cross-over it was almost over our head - they were LOW
and VERY CLOSE! Super-impressive.
As for the comparison between the Red Arrows and the Blue Angels - they're all astonishingly good pilots, so I wouldn't like to choose:
they're all very impressive. The same goes for the other national squads, like the Italians and the Swiss. The only down-side to the Blue
Angels is that all look like they've stepped out of Thunderbirds in their uniforms!

Me n our lass were at Teeside airport many years ago going to Tenerife. The Sunderland airshow were on and the RAF f16 team were based at Teeside..
Boy, what a show! The F16 pilot taxied right to the end of the runway, set off and within about 10 feet was going straight up in the air! Off for the
display. A bit later he came back and buzzed the the building with a very fast fly past. Stunk the place out with his fuel and did a big loop with a
sonic boom on the way down..
The red arrows came in to land in close formation and buzzed the runway at eye level to not actually land but do a nice loop and come in nose to tail
one after the other..
It was a shame to get off on our flight cause as we waited to go a Hercules came in to land as well!
The ground show was way better than any of the air shows I've been too!
