Has anyone seen the Australian Aerobatic Team, the Roulettes, in action? I haven't, just wondering if they're any good.
TURKISH STARS IS THE ONLY AEROBATIC TEAM IN THE WORLD WITH 8 SUPERSONIC NF5 AIRCRAFT.
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)
AirPower09 Day 1 F 53 Tiger Turkish Stars Part.2

After watching this video, you can see that the aerobatic teams of other countries CANNOT BE IN THE SAME CLASS WITH TURKISH STARS. There are GIANT DIFFERENCE with TURKISH STARS and the OTHERS.
F-5 has already been proved to be the BEST SUPERSONIC JET FOR AEROBATIC SHOWS. Many analysis were done before selecting that jet.F-5 IS NOT a friendly aircraft in slow flight. It cannot maneuver like an F-15, 18 or even an Su 27:
These are THE SAME when the aerobatic teams perform IN THE SAME AIRSHOW PLACE! Hence, in some countries, the aforementioned aerobatic teams performed in the SAME WEEK in the SAME AIR CONDITIONS in the same AIRBASE!Dimensions of the show track and the altitude of the hard deck
If you fly alone, then the 3D-complexity-count is only 1 (you care to yourself, you do NOT need to care any block of jets other than you. You alone are the BLOCK.). If you fly with some other pilot together (2 planes), then 3D-complexity-count is 6 (A cares A, A cares B, B cares A, B cares B, A cares the 2-block, B cares the 2-block), If you fly with other 2 planes, then 3D-complexity-count increases (A needs to care NOT ONLY THE OTHER JETS separately, but also the other 2 planes (the BLOCKEDNESS of the other two)),… 3D-complexity-count exponentially increases.The fact that one team has more aircraft in its display than another is just rubbish
Though the some of the aforementioned aerobatic teams are all SUPERSONIC, Turkish Stars performs "mirror image" better than the others even under difficult conditions (high speed Low altitude)!Mirror Image: (aircraft performance, speed and altitude, …)
If I said "accident NUMBERS", then you would be right. But, I said "accident RATES! The RATIO of accidents (number of accidents/<total shows+sorties>) are very high for Thunderbirds!Accidents rates:
