No kidding, I see 2 C2s. 😅😬😆 Caught these two C-2A(R) Greyhounds from VRC-30 Detachment 5 flying in on a hazy evening. The Greyhounds are on their last legs of service life. They have been fulfilling Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) missions since the late 1980s and are expected to be retired from service by 2024. They are in the midst of being replaced by the tiltrotor CMV-22B Osprey multi mission aircraft. VRC-30 Detachment 5 is the only permanently forward deployed COD detachment with its home station in Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan. #AviationGeek #MilitaryEnthusiast #MilitaryAviation #aviation4u #excellentaviation #PlaneSpotter #ShipSpotter #USNavy #USN #USPacificFleet #7thFleet #Grumman #C2AGreyhound #VRC30 #VRC30Det5 #WeDeliver #Providers #CVW5 #CSG5 #CVN76 #USSRonaldReagan #TheGipper #PeaceThroughStrength #Singapore #USA #Nikon #NikonD500 #Nikonsg #PlanesPatchesPeople (at Singapore / Singapura / 新加坡 / சிங்கப்பூர்) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_r7bzvjBC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

V-22 Osprey is the most excused aircraft in the Navy. VP Cheney tried to kill the program three times while in office but was unsuccessful. Shows the power of lobbying and the defense industry. Tragic.

Pure unadulterated awesomeness. Really old video of the COD, but it's still doing work.
