Fat Albert, usually puts on a little show of his own.
Man I miss getting to see Albert do a JATO launch. Such a fun time.
That is interesting, I didn't realize he had that capability, I remember seeing the Blue Angels in Seattle and Fat Albert perform. His main task is to provide parts and support for the Blue Angels.
That looks unreal...and fun. The cockpit area looks like a Hercules ???And it's amazing to see what they can do with a cargo plane!
The JATO takeoffs are quite impressive. I'm sorry that they've taken them out of the performance.
I can only imagine the Lockheed engineer tasked with reducing the C-130 takeoff distance and getting this solution while working diligently at home on the problem one night when their 8-year old suggested 'just add a bunch of rockets to it Dad'. 🤣

Correct on the Hercules. This photo was the C-130 'T' model that was retired in 2020. The current one is a 'J Super Hercules' model (to better pair with the Super Hornets the Blues fly) that was picked up from the UK.That looks unreal...and fun. The cockpit area looks like a Hercules ???
