    There were only 2 ships that had the Jato packs for airshow. It is nice now that Fat Albert is not hogging all the bottles now!
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Very ironic! I just found out that "Fat Albert" no longer uses JATO in air shows. That was as of 2009. Something to do with a shortage of bottles.
    The info came from this Blue Angels Wikipedia page:

    That is why I said above "now that Fat Albert is no longer hogging the bottles"

    Actually Fat Albert Ran out!
