Fat Albert on the way to Fort Worth
(OBA®) - The Fat Albert C-130 pilots and crew left Cambridge England this morning and they have refueled in Iceland. Fat Albert is now headed west for their transatlantic flight back to the United States with the new “J” model.
Upon return to the U.S., the crew will complete scheduled maintenance at JRB NAS Fort Worth, before returning to Pensacola, Florida!
OBA Editor Note:
We will keep our ears open and give a heads up when the Fat Albert crew will be returning to NAS Pensacola. Hopefully they'll buzz the Orange Beach Area beaches on their way home.
