Changing it up a bit today. Faaaat Tuesday!

Why Faaaat Tueday? So I can feature a photo of Fat Albert. Fat Albert? Fat Albert is the nickname given to the Blue Angels’ support aircraft. Fat Albert or Bert for short, is a C-130T Hercules that is operated by a US Marine Corps aircrew. Bert carries the Blue’s support staff, tools and spare parts to each show site. Bert also has his own demo prior to the Blue Angels F-18 Hornet performance.
