[Legend_Airlines]

737-200 is also known as Fat Albert

I've known the C-5 Galaxy as Fat Albert, but never something as small as the 732

Another one for the Douglas DC-3:
Greasy-3

[Torin Wilson]

732 is also kown as smokey Joe.

732 was the original fat albert really, short and stubby. It had that nickname bofore the C-5, which incedentally I have never heard it being refered to as.
