Fat Albert 170000 Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules MSN 382-5483 US Marine Corps (USMC) Pasada sorpresa por el Festival

Fat Albert es EL apodo dado del Hercules que transporta el equipo de mantenimiento y soporte de Los Blue Angels mientras realizan la demostración de vuelo en cada temporada de exhibición aérea. El C-130 modificado lleva el equipo de mantenimiento y apoyo y tiene su propio momento durante los espectáculos mientras realiza sus maniobras acrobáticas durante unos 15 minutos por delante de los Blue Angels. El apodo de Fat Albert es una referencia a la caricatura infantil de la década de 1970 &quot;Las aventuras de Fat Albert y los niños Cosby&quot;. El apodo se lo dieron al C-130 los pilotos de los Blue Angels del Cuerpo de Marines en el momento de su introducción en 1970.

Fat Albert is a nickname given to the Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules that carries the team’s maintenance and support equipment from place to place as the flight demonstration team makes its way through each air show season. The modified C-130 carries the team’s maintenance and support equipment and has its own moment in the sun during air shows as it performs its aerobatic maneuvers for about 15 minutes ahead of the Blue Angels. Fat Albert’s nickname is a direct reference to the 1970s children’s cartoon &quot;The Adventures of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.&quot; The nickname was given to the C-130 by Marine Corps Blue Angel pilots at the time it was introduced in 1970.
