(Oct. 10, 2003) - The U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Team, "Blue Angels", C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, "Fat Albert", performs in front of San Francisco's Alcatraz Island. "Fat Albert" is used in the "Blue Angel's" show demonstrating the aircraft's short take off capability using Jet Assisted Take Off (JATO) bottles.
