    An element of the U.S. Navy flight demonstration team, the Blue Angel's C-130T Hercules, nicknamed “Fat Albert” rests on the flight line of Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Ariz. For the first time, the “Fat Albert” all-Marine crew comprised of five enlisted and three pilots, conducted their annual winter training aboard the air station which usually takes place in Texas and Florida. “The base has been amazing. They actually really wanted us to come here and utilize the [opportunity] to see if we can maintain a future together and make it a multi-year plan where Yuma is our home for winter training,” said Cook. “It’s been a perfect, mutually supportive relationship between the Marines on base and the Marines on ‘Fat Albert.’”
