Maj. Mike Van Wyk, a C-130 pilot with the Blue Angels, explains that the C-130T Hercules, affectionately known as “Fat Albert” is used for many logistical purposes; including, but not limited to, carrying cargo, support personnel and extra parts to all the airshows. “These maneuvers that we do simulate being in a contested area [in combat], trying to get low to the deck and sneak in somewhere,” said Van Wyk. “We’re pretty much max performing the aircraft for [the airshows] so you can see the things we do in contested areas when we’re deployed around the world.”
