In 2021 the Blue Angels started their new season not only with new Super Hornets, they also introduced their new C-130J sporting a new paint scheme. This aircraft is affectionately known as “Fat Albert,” which is operated by US Marines as part of the Blue Angels team. Depicted here, Fat Albert is taxiing for takeoff for an aerial demonstration of its capabilities at the 3 July 2021 Kansas City Airshow at the New Century Air Center in Gardner, Kansas. With 29% more thrust than previous models, Fat Albert no longer needs the Rocket Assisted Takeoff (RATO) to perform its dramatic, high-angle takeoff. Beside it’s impressive demonstration, Fat Albert also
supports the Blue Angels’ logistically by carrying spare parts, equipment, and support personnel between shows.
