Valkyrie addict Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Actually the angelbirds are based on the USAF F-16 thunderbirds. Also the notion that in battroid the scheme resembles a japanese schoolgirl uniform. Edited November 13, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote
Chronocidal Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Actually.. think about the name. They just mashed up Blue Angels and Thunderbirds. As far as demonstration teams, I think they were said to have a lot more planes than either group (10+ I thought?), so really, it's more like a mashup of many flight demo teams from everywhere, just using the VF-1, and the UN Spacy.

Phyrox Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Is that a Deperdussin on the undersides? That's pretty cool. Nice homage. Quote
wmkjr Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Here's my contribution. Sorry, little late to the party. Russian swifts team: Swifts with Knights team (Bigger planes): Quote
PetarB Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 That last pic is so awesome. I think the Swifts no longer exist though… Quote
Kelsain Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Shoot, that first pic of the Swifts may as BE VF-25 Angle Birds. I can hardly tell the difference! Quote
