I was fortunate enough to join Seafair on the tarmac and see the Blue Angels up close and with flight personnel to explain the craft. They assigned each of us our own vehicle and I got to speak with Major Joshua Soltan about the big bird, the C-130J affectionately known as Fat Albert. Bonus: Maj Soltan is a Washington native and then introduced HM1 Brandon Crawford, a Tacoma local!
