Very cool Vid. I thought that pilots called 737’s Fat Alberts though.

Very cool vid but I was waiting for some loops and barrel rolls.

I got to fly from the Philippines to Travis AFB in a C-130. We island hopped on the way.. Thanks for reminding me, that was 42 years ago.

The Marines who crew Fat Albert have to keep an eye out for tailgaters.

Well, Fat Albert is grounded! Sequester cut 23 million FRom Navy budeget, so The Blue Angels airshow season was cancelled.

Meanwhile, Obongo Bozo vacations in Africa and spends $100,000,000!

Folks we have a problem!

I took my son to watch the Blue Angels many times at Moffett Field and during Fleet Week in San Fran. He still talks about them to this day. We saw Fat Albert doing a pre-show over the Bay in SF a few times and he just mentioned that the other day (he’s 22 now). Great memories. So cool seeing the cockpit view — those guys are talented and have big balls.

Hah! That was great, thanks for posting it.

What great duty that must be...:)

[Northern Yankee]

Thanks for posting.

What a job that must be... unless you're grounded because of politics.
