The Blue Angels' show kicks off with their giant C-130 Hercules, nicknamed "Fat Albert" (yes, after the kid on the Cosby Show). This is the MARINE CORPS portion of the Blue Angels demonstration!

  • Why is "Fat Albert" flown by Marines and not the navy?

  • The Blue Angels are a joint command involving both Navy and Marine Corps elements - the C-130 is operated by the Marine Corps for the purpose of supporting the Team, and to provide the opening of the Blue Angels demonstration. Also note that there are two Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet pilots performing in the six-jet demo now. Best regards!

  • you think this is extreme? search for the YMC-130H. it was designed to take off and land inside of a soccer stadium.

  • and to add if you want to be technical the Marines are part of department of navy

  • @z122643 BLUF - the Marines felt unloved and left out, so the Navy gave 'em Fat Albert.

  • @z122643 the c-130 is good for transporting troops

  • Good old JATO pods

  • Ive seen many airshows and it is worthwhile to go see . I never got tired of seeing the aircraft . Pretty amazing stuff .

  • @vanwahlgren if the tax payers have a problem with where their money is going, maybe they should go out and see the show :) these shows have their purpose (not dogging you, just saying.)

  • @vanwahlgren You sound like a tight laced boring snore. Loosen up; we blow trillions on other countries for shit we never see. What's a few million bucks for some good old fashoned fun. Relax a bit brother. Life is short, and no one gets out alive.

  • How much does this cost the taxpayer?  Have they had any deaths or crashes related to this entertainment? I would like to recommend that they have a video of this to entertiain the crowd or have the crowd pay for the entertainment rather than the taxpayers paying for it.

  • @z122643 Because the Marines rock.
