The Blue Angels' new C-130J Super Hercules 'Fat Albert' landed at their new headquarters in Pensacola, Florida on August 17th.
Upon arrival in Pensacola, the 'Fat Albert' was escorted by six F/A-18 Hornet fighters from the Blue Angels team.
However, with the new aircraft had already been going on for some time, since the pilot and mechanic training in Cambridge, UK.
It is worth ing that the C-130J Super Hercules was already used by the Royal Air Force (RAF), so the training was concentrated in the United Kingdom.

Now the US Navy demonstration team has a new logistic transport aircraft, which replaces the old C-130H.
The Fat Albert made a transfer flight on August 4 and was supposed to proceed to a naval base in Texas. But she had to make a unscheduled landing at Boston Logan International Airport to investigate a light that came on in the dashboard.
After repairing this unforeseen event, the aircraft headed to Texas where it made the last scheduled repairs.
However, the news and changes in the Blue Angels, are not only based on the Fat Albert, but also on the transition from the F-18 Hornet fighters, to the F-18 Super Hornet, sthe first one has already been delivered.
