The Blue Angels

The Blue Angels performed at the Air Show. They were great of course. There isn't really much to say about them. There skill speaks for itself.This is Fat Albert. It is the support plane for the Blue Angels. Carries all of their extra equipment and such.It is a Hercules class or whatever. It is a propeller plane, but it has JATO or Jet Assisted Take Off, for situation in which there is a short runway it starts going with the propeller and then BAM, sets off these rockets and it just leapsinto the air.
