- Blue Angels: Fat Albert Airline on board camera cockpit crew raw pre-flight and taxi 16x9 SD
I shot this on the Panosonic HVX200AP 720P30PN. This raw video is leading up to the nine minute performance over Barksdale Airforce Base. Airshow in Bossier City Louisiana included performances by the Blue Angels and Snow Birds. 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 140,000 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 27,000 feet. Four Allison turboprop engines, which produce more than 16,000 shaft-horsepower, provide Fat Albert Airlines with the power to land and depart on runways as short as 2,500 feet.
Really cool! I got to fly with 165th Airlift wing in Savannah Georgia couple weekends ago. Makes me wish I were about 25 years younger again. I know what I would be doing :-)
THANK YOU for getting the comms clearly! I've ridden Bert twice and listening to their grunts and yells over the PA is definitely one of the coolest parts.
Wow, they talk so fast, love it :)
