Not to be a stickler for details, but Fat Albert is a C-5 Galaxy...

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!

Ha. Not a chance. The Thunderbirds use a C-130 also, but I don't know what they call it. The last time I talked to the C-130 pilot, their call sign was Thunderbird 14. I always had the best view of the show, from the cat walk of the tower. 😄👌😏😀😃😆
