Description
this is the C130 cargo supply plane that supports the Marine's Blue Angels and is nicknamed "Fat Albert". I captured it yesterday as it was preparing for takeoff in Fort Worth.the engines were running full speed during pre-flight checks
my title should be able to be understood with some close scrutiny
thanks for viewing and any comments
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!

Noticed the flag first and then wondered how a flying plane could do that. I see that it's still on the ground yet. Really beautiful craft.
Excellent capture and composition Richard. It seems to do a hell of job, flying backwards ;) Have a happy New Year as well my friend!
Happy New Year!!!!!!!
Exellent work.
very cool shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really enjoy this image--- fine work. Happy New Year, Richard!!!!!
A superb shot of this magnificent plane Richard, Happy New Year to you and yours.
Nice shot. I still can't imagine how these huge planes ever take off. Happy Holidays. Aloha
awesome capture, Richard warm hug with a smile, Linda
I have a friend from California...he is in the Blue Angels jet Air Show ;-) H A P P Y * N E W * Y E A R * F R O M * C A N A D A * W I N T E R L A N D
Very cool shot, Richard. With the weight of a C-130.. Fat Albert is a proper name.. #;oD Looks like the tail rudder is at 35 deg. to one side.. But the plane is going straight ahead... It could indicate heavy side wind... but maybe i am mistaken.. not sure. Happy New Year to you and the family.. and best wishes for 2009.
WOW Beautiful Shot Richard!!!! Awesome plane
Reverse engines, full speed ahead! Or as the Irish artillery sergeant said to his Bluebelly gunners being overrun by Rebs--"Elevate them sights a little lower, boys!" Much, much lower.
Awesome capture Richard! The Blue Angels sure put on some fabulous shows!!! We wish you and yours a very Happy New Year!!!
My kind of photography, Richard!!! Happy 2009!!!!!

LOL! The flag is a dead giveaway! Happy New Year my Friend!

Now this is ultra cool Richard as I've never seen it before and think your capture of it is great.
haha, yup that little flag is gives away the deception ;) happy new year richard!
Awesome capture. Bunny
You certainly did with the flag flying that way. I like how this really stands out with the blue sky background. Nicely done.
Love the flag ... I'm sure a lil' "prop wash" will fix that though. :-)
Excellent shot, Richard!
a flight into the new year a good image here i just wish you a GREAT 2009.. It is 3 hours old in NL and it feels good May you have a TOP year.. full of joy, health and happyness
Happy New Year Richard, hope you have a great 2009. This is an excellent capture you got here. The flag flying forward works well on a sail ship, first time I have seen it on a plane. That's a fine looking plane too. Well done!
