C-130 "Fat Albert" Jet Assisted Take Off (JATO), NAS Miramar Air show

A most impressive take-off: A Jet Assisted Take Off (JATO) at Miramar NAS Air Show, on August 16, 1997
This is "JATO" because this is a "Jet of expanding hot gases forced out of a small opening"; Whatever if the jet of hot gas is generated by the combustion of solid fuel or liquid fuel, from a static engine or turbo assisted. Be aware that I'll remove any offending comment and block it's author immediately!
Even more impressive when on big planes like this C-130. It's "Fat Albert" of the Blue Angels. This was during one of the very last Miramar Air Shows with the Navy. It was in the early part of the Twilight Miramar Air Show.

I wish they would do that at the Indianapolis Air Show!

@Voxnulla Interesting that the 130 is still used as the primary delivery system of the MOAB and is also often used as a gunship... Not to mention that, like the A10, you can practically fly them backwards. They can carry a large payload and are generally very capable planes, despite their perhaps archaic design...

Looked like it was going to start the tail on fire.

@Felamine Really? 5! Amazing, sealing your friendship and loyalty with your neighbouring country through lacking military equipment.
Almost as useful as the Nepalese navy.

@Voxnulla You're aware that the Royal New Zealand Air Force has 5 of these "primitive" planes currently in service, right?

That was an impressive climb! I only wish I could have seen that in person.

@ATHGT Buddy, if you had spent the time to read the caption: That video dates from 1997. How many V8 camcorders had an image stabilizer 14 years ago ?!? Then, tripods are not allowed in a grand stand. Then, on that huge crowd present this evening I'm apparently the only one who has taped it and has published it online.
