There are, apparently, no more JATO bottles in the Navy inventory; a hurricane wiped them out several years ago and they are no longer needed.

The Fat Albert JATO takeoff was simply a magnificent element in the Blue Angels Airsow!

I have seen the Blue Angels Airshow a number of times, dating back to 1964, and each JATO takeoff was a thrill to watch!

I bet the pilots love it too! As a retired Naval Aviator, I can only imagine that it generates the same sort of visceral thrill that an aircraft carrier catapult shot generates!

Unfortunately, I do not recall when the JATO takeoff was added to the show, but it was a loss when they quit doing it!
