Say "Hi!" to "Fat Albert" the C-130.

Fat Albert comes here(MCAS Yuma) to play when they are on there winter schedule at NAS El Centro. Our Marines get to go fly in her. You would not believe that maneuvers that big bird can make. You would think the wings were going to snap off. Some of my Marines that work with me got to go. They all came back sick as a dog pulling max G's and also getting some 0 G's floating time.
As a matter of fact. That terrain looks like that pic was taken here.

The silent drill team and the Marine Corps band both come for our beautiful weather and practice here during the winter.

Great Pic
