I'm not sure where you got the nickname "Fat Albert" for the pictured
aircraft but "Fat Albert" was the unofficial nickname for the C5A
Galaxy. Then in the late 1970s the Air Force issued policy statements
to the effect that it was not an "appropriate" nickname....


I thought the C-130 supporting the Blue Angels had long carried the
name.



It does.
