Comments   Recently received this link about the Navy's C-130 Fat Albert. Thought it was a good article with some videos. I found a few surprises in the 1st video- 1. Either a female A/C or a guy with a "man bun" 2. Still using a fairly old attitude gyro 3. Still using a "flight mech" 4. Why didn't I think of a hula dancer statue on my 767's? 1st video may a bit long to hold much interest. The others were shorter and more to the point Enjoy-
