Punta Gorda, Fla. (Mar. 24, 2003) - "Fat Albert", a U.S. Marine Corps C-130 Hercules assigned to the Navy's Flight Demonstration Team, "Blue Angels" ignites its Jet Assisted Take Off (JATO) bottles on take-off. The eight JATO rockets give "Fat Albert" an extra 8,000 pounds of thrust and can shorten the distance of take-off.  U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 2nd Class Saul McSween. (RELEASED)
