Not at all, the GB is open to any formation flying team comprising more than two aircraft :grin:
Do you have anything in mind? :)
I have a few choices iggie, I have the Hasegawa 'Blue Angels' set, a Hellcat, Bearcat and FA-18 each with 'blue angels' markings, the Mistercraft and Matchbox Hunters both with 'Blue Diamonds' markings, the Airfix Gnat and Hawk in 'Red Arrows' colours and the Airfix 'Yellowjacks' Gnat. I also have the Heller Lockheed C-121 which I could finish in 'Blue Angels' colours using scanned and re-sized copies of the Italeri Fat Albert kit decals. The Mistercraft Hunter also has markings for the Swedish AF 'Acro Hunters' team, the Belgian AF 'Les Diables Rouge' team and the Swiss AF 'Patruille Suisse' team. so I have a reasonable selection from which to choose.
Wow! 😲
I shall look forward to your eventual choice(s) in due course :-D
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

I hadn't actually planned on joining my GB's this year, but I might jump on this as I have a Red Arrows Hawk and Gant to build, a Red Pelican's JP and a Microlease (Firebird Aerobatics ltd) Pitts.
Stuart Templeton I may not be good but I'm slow...
