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.

The nickname was given to the C-130 by Marine Corps Blue Angel pilots at the time it was introduced in 1970.
