“Fat Albert” C-130 Retires From Blue Angel Duties
Not sure if this will get noticed in the Blue Angel schedule thread, but it's a pretty big deal that deserves a thread I think. The Blues have suddenly and unceremoniously flown their C-130T "Fat Albert" for the last time, dropping her off in Fort Worth to be used as a ground trainer. They...

Re: 2019 US Navy Blue Angels Performance Schedule
The Blues will be relying on Ernie until they get the RAF J model. The C-130T that we all know as Fat Albert has flown her last flight!

Re: Westmoreland County Airshow May 25-26
yeah, just saw the same on FB. I saw the demo at Andrew's a few weeks back, was a good flight after a bit of an ironic maintenance issue. Look forward to watching this plane every time, especially when pyrotechnics are involved! It won't be the demo team, but it could certainly be an airfield attac...
