It's just 1 F16 not a team.

It even says Solo Turk at the end of the movie.

Nothing new either since this solo F16 demo team has been around for years, since 1979 even. F16 demo team

Demo movie

It will be 3 but not sure yet. And yes they will do their show as solo for now.

We have a team using F5s, this team is new for us. I think they will be a team in time

If you guys know nice airshow teams please let me know.

I have seen them a few times, the Turkish Stars.

Well, let me see here, the Red Arrows, Blue Angels, Patrouille de France, Patrouille Suisse, Royal Jordanian Falcons, Frecce Tricolori, Russian Knights and the Silver Falcons just to name a few.

There are many more but these are the ones that just popped in my head, mostly because I seen them a few times.

In Italy we have the luck to see the biggest acrobatic formation as in regards to number. The 10 craft of the Frecce Tricolori flying together are really a show.

There are numerous non military formations too that are really interesting; I can't remember a name now but IIR Red Bull has a team of such skillful pilots.

Snowbird's "mini concorde" formation is great! Thanks Marvin.

A couple of years back I went down to the Lake Michigan Shore for a military air show. Can't remember what jets they were flying but I brought my Mars-Cap modified ham radio to listen in on the cockpit chatter. One of the soldiers on the ground told me the frequency was classified and I would never pick it up on my radio anyway but a quick look on the internet got me the channel in no time. When I tuned in on the frequency I thought I must have gotten it wrong since it sounded like I was eavesdropping in on a wild party. When two of the guys at the party started singing "Smoke On The Water" by Deep Purple 2 seconds before the team turned on the smoke going over the Lake Michigan I realize the party was up in the air. Hearing the guys and one lady pilot joking and having a blast showing off there skills made that air show the best I've ever seen (and heard).
