    YES A WOMAN!!!! Marine Capt. Katie Higgins, 27, the first-ever female Blue Angel…..will be flying the C-130 Hercules cargo plane known as “Fat Albert,” which is a bigger aircraft that flies slower and lower than the jets at air shows. It’s a task that will surely come naturally to Higgins, whose father, two uncles, and grandfathers were all pilots. Higgins is expected to start training in January, with her first performance scheduled for March.
