I've seen both before, but I remember most the Blue Angels when they performed in Arizona about 6 or so years ago. I think it was either Tempe or Sun City... Anyway I think the Blue Angels win because the F/A-18 has always been one of my favorite planes, whereas the F-16 has not. Childhood bias...

Its not a blatant copy such as the Blackjack and other Soviet copies, but its somewhat close. My list is for the naming of their aircraft. Their 'attack' planes are aligned with the fighters for names for some reason....
If you wanna see copy, look at how similar the old Sabres and Mig 15s look. Or what about the F-15 and the Mig-25 Fulcrum?

Its MiG-25 Foxbat, and someone who is good at recce won't confused a 25 with a 15. Similiar setups yes, but two different aircraft completely...

Now that's scary!! How in the he77 do you know someone who owns a freakin Mig jet fighter?

I'm sorry I meant the Mig 29. I don't know why I was thinking the 25...
Still not a *carbon* copy, but similar enough to get them confused...
