Now that’s not fair! They’re both pretty awesome. Give credit where credit is due.

Yeah, I thought about that after I posted it. You’re right, they have mad skills and all that, but my preference is the Angels. Plus, there’s no beating that blue and gold paintjob. The thing I don’t like about the ‘birds planes is that they’ve managed to make F16’s look like kiddie toys from the 60’s. The Angels’ 18’s are a whole lot sleeker, IMO of course.
