These photos are of the C-130 used by the Blue Angles and affectionally called Fat Albert. The first photo is of the wind drift indicators thrown out prior to the Navy Leap Frog parachute team jumping. They did not jump that day due to high winds in the Landing zone (LZ). The second photo is of the C-130 passing directly over the box seats of the Marina Green after releasing the wind indicators.

Nice photos Thank you for posting
Good set of photos. Enjoyed seeing them.
Very good series, the C-130 has always been one of my favorite aircrafts.
