Why can’t the public listen to the pilots’ conversation during the show?
Since all maneuvers are preceded by radio communication broadcasting these radio calls or making the frequencies of their radios publicly available could interfere with pilot communication, thereby jeopardizing safety of flight.Why is the C-130 called “Fat Albert?””Fat Albert” is a nickname given to the plane by Marine Corps Blue Angel pilots in the 1970s because of its size and shape and is a reference to the popular children’s cartoon of the same era.
