Always an airshow favorite, the Blue Angels "Fat Albert" Demo at the California Capital Airshow 2008 was pretty wild on Sunday. The crosswinds were wreaking havoc on all airshow performers, including the "Fat Albert" Demo. You can see the steep approach angle that is normal, but watch the nose of the C-130 point about thirty degrees off centerline as the crew corrects for the crosswind drift.

The 1988 Moffett International Airshow was an action packed event that drew a record amount of airshow fans over the three days of perfect California weather.
