Fat Albert JATO , at Dusk, MCAS Miramar, 10/09 HQ

C-130 Jet Assisted Takoff of "Fat Albert," the Blue Angels support transport.

Blue Angels report:
"End of JATO for Blue Angels!
It has recently been confirmed that the 2009 season will officially be the last year of
the Jet Assisted Take-Off (JATO) for Fat Albert Airlines. Fat Albert JATO take-offs have
been a tradition for the Blue Angels since 22 Nov 1975.

With the end of JATO, a new era begins for Fat Albert Airlines. Next year marks the
40th anniversary of the all Marine Corps C-130 crew serving proudly on the Blue Angels
and will also mark the beginning of the next chapter in our history book. The team is
researching several alternatives to replace JATO and we look forward to showcasing
them to the American public in the future."
