I spent 22 years doing that job, because when I was a kid, I saw someone else doing it at an airshow,

What were they flying? F9F Cougars?

Just kidding, although I think that may have been what they were flying the first time I saw the Blue Angels, although it could have been the F11F Tiger. Pretty sure the Thunderbirds were flying F-100s the first time I saw them, although it could have been F-84F's I suppose.

I think the current aircraft flown by each team are their "coolest" yet, the F/A-18 Hornet and the F-16 Falcon.

When I signed up, the Navy was transitioning from the F-4 to the Tomcat. The Blues were flying the A-4 Skyhawk at the time, but still lookin good. The Hornets are nice, but the Blues never looked better than when they were throwing Phantoms around the sky. Nothin sounded like an angry F-4.
