Heck, let's just get an all-female T-Bird team. They could probably get a lot closer formation going than the Blue Angels can. They'll have to get a C-17 support craft, and call it "Pleasantly Plump Alberta"

The T birds have never flown as close as the Blues. I doubt they will change how things are done any time soon. As a retired Naval Aviator I have the most respect for the sheer quality of formation flying that the Snowbirds display. I tought formation flying to new guys and I always enjoyed the dynamics that are part of the requirements of formation flying. If I could ever be a member of any of the military precison flight teams I would want to be a Snowbird and fly the last guy out at the tip of the formations.
