Fat Albert is a Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules that follows the Blue Angels across the country as they perform air shows during a season. The modified C-130 carries the team’s maintenance and support equipment and has its own moment in the sun during air shows as it performs its aerobatic maneuvers for about 15 minutes ahead of the Blue Angels.

Watching an airshow on the beach is so Florida! The Blue Angels aerial demonstration team performed July 12, 2025 in this iconic Sunshine State town.
