The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine military transport aircraft designed and built
originally by Lockheed Martin. Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings,
it was originally designed as a troop and cargo transport aircraft and is now used in a variety of
other roles, such as gunship, airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support,
weather reconnaissance and aerial refueling. The C-130 entered service with the U.S. in the
1950s, which makes it our longest continuously produced military aircraft at over 60 years,
operating in more than 60 nations.
In 1946, the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Chester Nimitz, had a vision to create a flight
exhibition team in order to raise the public’s interest in naval aviation and boost Navy morale.
Since the 1940s they have flown the F6 Hellcat, F8 Bearcat, F9 Panther, F-11 Tiger, F-4 Phantom
and A-4 Skyhawk. In 1986, the 40th Anniversary of the Blue Angels, they started to fly F/A-18
Hornets, and still do to this day.
When the Blue Angels became operational, it became necessary for a support aircraft to move
people and equipment to their show sites. They have used R4D, R5C/D and C-121, and in 1970
they received the Lockheed Martin C-130 "Fat Albert."
This Maxford USA sport-scale C-130 is about a 1/16 scale model of the Blue Angels’ “Fat Albert.”
It is made of wood, fiberglass and plastic parts. This ARF comes with pre-installed retractable
landing gear.
We invite you to enjoy the pride of ownership and the joy of flying this
beautiful ARF sport-scale model of the famous C-130 “Fat Albert.”
