 This is the Navy Blue Angels C-130, also known as FAT Albert. The massive four-engine turboprop aircraft has a wingspan of 133 feet and weighs more than 100 tons. So we can do so much with this airplane. It can go, obviously, into short airfields with unapproved runaways, you know, gravel, coral. It can carry troops and payload in the back. The team gave service members the rare opportunity to fly with them to see what it's like firsthand. During the flight, the pilots performed high-precision aerobatics. Major Hamilton explained why the Blue Angels performed these aerial maneuvers for the public. Well, it gives us an opportunity to showcase the pride and professional in the United States Marine Corps and Navy, so this is our chance to represent the Navy Marine Corps and service members in a great light. The Blue Angels are scheduled to perform in over 65 airshows in 2015. Ready Officer Jerome Johnson, Marine Corps Base, Hawaii.
