Default Fat Albert

Everybody loves Fat Albert.

He did a JATO takeoff on Friday night and again on Saturday. The night
photos just don't look as nice in that is was in pitch black darkness.
However, the daytime images show us the power of the lifting forces. I just
wish we had blue skies that day, Tom
