I shot this on the Panosonic HVX200AP 720P30PN. This raw video is of the nine minute performance over Barksdale Airforce Base. Airshow in Bossier City Louisiana included performances by the Blue Angels and Snow Birds. I’ll try to upload the HD version once I figure out how. It was a wild ride, mostly because I was in the cargo area and couldn’t see what was coming. Thank you to the crew for assistance in strapping in the CAM and patching in audio from the flight. More about the aircraft: An all-Marine Corps crew of three officers and five enlisted personnel operate the Lockheed-Martin C-130T Hercules, affectionately known as Fat Albert Airlines. Fat Albert joined the team in 1970 and flies more than 140000 miles each season. It carries more than 40 maintenance and support personnel, their gear and enough spare parts and communication equipment to complete a successful air show. Fat Albert cruises at a speed of more than 320 knots (approximately 360 miles per hour) at 27000 feet. Four Allison turboprop engines, which produce more than 16000 shaft-horsepower, provide Fat Albert Airlines with the power to land and depart on runways as short as 2500 feet.

Teamwork and knowledge!

Yes, this video is awesome! Front left is the pilot /aircraft commander, front right is the co-pilot, guy in the middle is the engineer who monitors the engines and other aircraft systems. Guy taking the video is in the radio operators seat which is inop now days. Guy to the right mostly out of view is the navigator. Used to work on these in the Marines. Almost reenlisted for a shot at being the mechanic for this thing.

Everything about this video is awesome. Who would ever guess a plane that huge could do things like this! What are the jobs of the three in the cockpit? Which one is the pilot? (I am clueless)
Again, just awesome!

I wonder how long this particular aircraft has been in “Fat Albert” service. I was stationed at Roosevelt Roads PR when they did a show there. I was the guy pumping the JP-5. That was the first time I’d ever seen a C-130 put thru it’s paces, and I remember being amazed at it’s adjility, and power…
I hitched a ride in an Air Force C-130 back to Dobbins, and have had a special affection for these aircraft ever since.
Peace brothers…

@clarkdoc Blue angels’ fat albert takeoff. I put it in the video response (warning, turn sound down, engine noise is loud)
March 15, 2010
what is the video called
March 15, 2010
The guy in my video is staff sergeant Tommy Zurek, the plane’s loadmaster. The pilots in the front two seats of this video are Captain Edward Jorge (right) and Major Drew Hess or Maj. Brendan Burks on left (I think). Flight engineer GYSGT Ben Chapman did most of the talking to our group.

wow vargjarvis!!!! did u get to talk to any of the fat albert pilots? what were there names?
March 15, 2010
Roughly 12 of the 28 or so passengers got sick. Each one of the turns creates about 3-4 Gs inside the plane. You have weightlessness after takeoff and diving in for the landing. The Blue Angels are nice enough to provide air sickness bags to everyone. I did not need mine, so I had the IndyCar drivers that were flying sign my barf bag.

vargjarvis, how did the ride feel? did anyone get sick?
