So cool. But the loss of JATO is terrible.

No more JATO's? Damn..

Well that sucks. That's the best part of the Fat Albert show. Even saw it light the field on fire once at the airshow in Redding, PA...

Also, the newer C-130Js (that's the C-130 with the six-bladed propellers) do not need JATO bottles... their takeoff performance is much better than the C-130E and C-130H (Fat Albert is actually a C-130T, which I believe is the Navy/Marine's designation for the H-model).

Hurricane Ivan, which destroyed Pensacola in September 2004, was responsible for destroying the stockpile of JATO bottles and the manufacturer that produced them is no longer making them, or is out of the JATO business completely.
