She is flying Fat Albert C-130

Not to be a stickler for details, but Fat Albert is a C-5 Galaxy, but they did not like for us to call it that, any more than they liked it when we called the B-52 a BUFF, or the A-10 a warthog, or the F-111the Aardvark. Yes, I see you by that F-18. 🙉🙈🙊👌😂😄😃

Sticker or not, the C-130 which flies support for the Blue Angels, NAVY flight demonstration team is "named" Fat Albert". It is not a designation for a group of aircraft, but it's OK if you Air Force types are jealous of a superior group of NAVY pilots and equipment!!!

Marines are part of the US Navy!
