"Fat Albert" as a boy !! From VQ-4, in transit through Prestwick using the callsign BERT4. Constructed as a C-130G in 1964, converted to EC-130G in 1966. The drogue at the end of the communications aerial which can be wound out behind the aircraft can be seen protruding at the rear cargo ramp door. In 1981 it was the test-bed for the EC-130Q, with TACAMO equipment to communicate with submerged nuclear submarines. In 1991 became "Fat Albert", the TC-130G transport ship for the USN aerobatic display team, the Blue Angels, painted in the team's blue and gold colours. Retired to the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Pensacola, Florida in 2002.
