Lockheed C-130T 'Hercules' flown by the USMC. Known as quot;Fat Albert Airlinesquot; it supports the USN Blue Angels. The Herc is flown by Major Stefan Mueller, Major Matt McGath, and Captain Russ Campbell.

During each of the air shows, Marine Corps pilots Majs. Matt McGath, Russ Campbell and Drew Hess will put the four-engine transport through gut wrenching maneuvers that include taking off at a steep 45-degree angle. The stunt makes those aboard the craft float weightlessly for a few seconds until the plane levels off.
During the show, the plane does tight turns at up to three times the force of gravity, or three Gs. [East Bay Times]
