I think a lot of people under-appreciate the airmanship on display with Fat Albert. Anyone can do donuts in a sports car, but it takes a real pilot to do them in a school bus.

Reece Drystek, C-130J is military transport, not 'school bus' by any means. With it's 14 megawatt powerplant per 35t takeoff weight (for demo flights w/o cargo), it outperfoms most of sports cars by power/weight ratio, and it's in one league by power and power-to-weight with heavy multirole fighters, like F-15 or Russian Su-35.

@@stevenhuckaby2902 The man is the flight engineer. He is not instructing the woman. The woman is the captain and completely in charge of flying and the entire plane. The man is simply reciting readouts and marks for the demonstration. I do remember him from other videos and he has quite the character. My favourite is when they hit V2 and rotate and he shouts, "Let's go flying."

Always loved the Blue Angels and Fat Albert has always been my favorite. Thank you gang for this video, it was great, and great to see this little lady do such a great job with such a great crew.

I’ve always found at shows people do not respect FA as much as they should. It’s viewed as a sort of filler for the main show but the crews are just as qualified, professional, focused, and skilled as every pilot in the show. It takes an amount of precision and focus not found in many aviators to make a big bird like that do the things they do with it and in many aspects are even more difficult than flying 1-7. My favorite part of the demo 😊

Folks don't understand that the entire Blue Angels' show is tightly choreographed and, yes, they are all professionals. I'm not just making noise here when I say that these people are the best of the best! They are all the very tops, cream of the crop in their jobs or they don't make the team. I love big planes! When I fly planes my simulator (I would kill to have access to a real simulator for an old 707 or something of that nature or even the flight deck of an old 4 engine beast like the Lockheed Constellation), I love to fly only the big propeller driven aircraft, the C-130 included. 🤪 I regret never learning to fly especially given my family's history. My brother is also a helo pilot, retired. My bro-in-law is a retired Marine Corps aviator of fixed wing A/C and helos. I got to see Fat Albert and the Angels many times, and I can tell you it was always a thrilling pleasure. My Pops was in the Air Force so growing up I never missed an air show with the Thunderbirds. I first saw them perfotm way back in 1960/1961 when they were flying F-100s Super Sabres! I LOVE AIRPLANES! This a great video! Thanks for sharing. What a treat!

WOW. I got the chance to ride in it as a media member a roughly 4 or 5 years back before the Wings Over Houston Air Show (highly recommend going!!). Unfortunately I attended a Tequila Tasting the night before. But that's another story. The flight was insane, but I only could see out side windows across the plane as the seats in back run across the sides of the plans facing in toward center (and out the opposite side windows) for a visual reference to the ground. So seeing this view backs up went I felt inside. They went ZeroG. We were strapped in, but some of the crew "floated" while holding onto a latter they had in the plane. Great experience!

I served 10yrs as a Crew Chief on the B-1b and never got the chance to fly in it. I got the opportunity to watch a Jato assisted take-off at an Air show I was working once and always thought if I had the choice Between that and a high speed low altitude flight in my own B-1, it would be that Fat Albert Take-off. I got the chance to fly in 3 different cargo aircraft, the C-130 rides always sucked the most... but they didn’t have rockets... Does the C-130J Fat Albert have the Jato assist capability still?

TheC-130 flight manual is written for average experienced crews; this crew is obviously not in that category. 45 degrees of bank is published as the safe maximum. This crew goes to 60 with no worries. I have been to 80 and know of old trashhaulers in the Four Horseman who have barrel-rolled the airplane regularly and loved it.

Then, at NAS Kingsville, as a Facility Watch Supervisor, Air Traffic Control, I was honored by being the FWS for two "Wings Over South Texas' featuring the Blue Angels. And Capt. Higgins, you flew it like you stole it (the air show that is). The pride swells within seeing the professionalism, love of aviation, and enthusiasm this crew demonstrated.

Notice the crew coordination. There is no conversation on takeoff roll when the flight controls transfer to the pilot. In a normal aircraft, you would hear "my controls" from the pilot and "your controls" from the copilot. These two know each other. At the proper point, the copilot lets go and the pilot takes control - silently.
@svyt
@svyt 4 жыл бұрын
Flight crews don't count on silent assumptions for transfer of control. Check this video of a Fat Albert takeoff, which includes the intercom audio: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGrLkKN6btx2lc0 Transfer of control is crisp, concrete, and not silent: Flight Engineer: "80 knots" Pilot: "My yoke" CoPilot: "Your Yoke" (Edit: Actually, it looks like the CoPilot made the airspeed callout...) Back to this video, check the action right around 8:53. It's hard to distinguish between talking and gum chewing, but as she moves her left hand from the nosewheel tiller to the yoke, you see her chin make a sharp movement out of rhythm with her gum chewing, which is certainly the "My yoke" call. We can't see the first officer's mouth at this point, but you can see him follow her with his left hand on the yoke for just a second before he relaxes his grip. Flight crews don't transfer control silently.

Are Fat Albert displays flown PIC only or does the F/O get stick time as well?

Chewing gum helps with airsickness and also helps in equalizing the inner ear. As a pilot myself I love the hula girl. Almost every pilot I've known had a talisman of some sort. When in the Army Air Cav I had a Mickey Mouse key chain on my flight

Logan Jones I think it is a long mounting bracket for the adjustable sun shade. Cockpits on most large aircraft have them just above the center windscreen stretching out across the side windows. A tinted piece of plexy glass with a special clamp screwed into it allows the aircrew to place the shade wherever they want.

I love flying. I was a crew chief on C-141's. I've been in the flight station during combat approaches. Touch-n-go's. Been the back during troop drops over Ft. Bragg. No worries. I would have been begging for them to let me off this plane mid flight. Wow.

Why did the person tap Katie on the shoulder when climbing?
@dragon6172
@dragon6172 7 жыл бұрын
I would guess that during the climb her focus is on the attitude indicator, keeping a certain climb angle and keeping wings level. The climb has to end when the airspeed decreases to a certain amount or the aircraft will stall. Sounds like the copilot is monitoring airspeed, if you listen closely you can hear him shout "110" right as the engineer taps her shoulder. The shoulder tap is another way of letting the pilot know to push the nose over and stop the climb. Say, for example, if the intercom failed and the copilots airspeed call out wasn't heard, the pilot would feel the tap and know to stop the climb.
