Fat Albert

The US Marines are an integral part of the Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team- In addition to flying alongside Naval Aviators in the F/A18 Hornet, the Marine pilots and crew put on an amazing show with The C-130T nicknamed "Fat Albert". Flying in the C-130, aka "Trash Hauler", is not the most comfortable ride you will ever have but its reliability is astounding - If you have a weak stomach this is not for you!

Magnificent capture of Fat Albert! Great job tracking this on a nose dive descent. I'm already dizzy and I'm not even on board. Love the shutter speed to show the motion on the props. Excellent work as always Jeff! #11687223Nancy L. Green March 26, 2018
Great timing on this Jeff, I have enjoyed seeing Fat Albert in the past, and hope to see him again soon!! <>< #11687252frank w. degenhardt March 26, 2018
You do such amazing work with these planes Jeff. You capture the in flight plane and freeze frame it to get those beautiful colors and what an amazing look at the details that are so sharp and clear. Beautiful work with this older prop plane. #11687267John Connolly March 26, 2018
