Fat Albert taking off
This is what the picture for the facebook group depicts. It’s the Blue Angel’s support plane, a C-130 named “Fat Albert” taking off using rockets to assist it getting off the ground.
Amazing how fast the thing climbs.

ABOUT THIS AUTHOR
I love planes. You could even say that I am plane nuts. Ever since I was a wee little rascal I've loved planes and the concept of flying. Alas, I wasn't meant to be a commercial pilot like I wanted to be, so the next best thing for me is to write about planes, about airlines, about accidents, about pretty much anything to do with flying machines.

This is what I remember most about the Blue Angels show I saw in Brunswick back in ’98. When I saw it they did the rocket climb while they were already flying instead of at take-off (take-off looks more impressive), and I don’t think they painted the C-130 back then.
