The routines, at a glance, are similar. However, if one gives attention to each routine, they differ. Each routine shows the capabilities of the different aircraft flown. The USAF Thunderbirds fly 6 F16 C models with 2 D models in the fleet. The US Navy Blue Angels use (up to) 10 F/A 18 C models and 2 B models. The F16 C model and F/A 18 B model are both 2 seat aircraft.

The routines feature many capabilities of the aircraft from climb rates, turns, and speed. There are many other capabilities showcased in the routines. Each aircraft is designed to perform differently under certain circumstances, but both perform similar, thus building similar routines.

There are also trademark maneuvers and formations from each squad that provide variation between the two teams.

Both teams are made up of the elite pilots, crew chiefs, and staff from both the USAF and the US Navy giving the audience a very crisp ground and air performance.
