FAT ALBERT C-130 Rocket-assisted take off – You’ll NEVER see this again!
Published on December 1, 2017
Some really old taped video camera footage of Blue Angels C-130 doing a JATO demo, back in the days when they actually did this at each show. It was one of the more memorable
sights and sounds of the airshows. They stopped due to a shortage of JATO bottles. A knowledgable friend told me that all the reserves of the JATO bottles were transferred to Alaskian air bases.
