@nite103 A great image of the 2nd prototype of the Grumman C-2A Greyhound. Too bad that all the kits are only for the reprocured version of the C-2A. I wish I had this image in high res in my collection. Thanks for sharing. #flynavy#c2greyhound
About 2.5 years after VAW-120, VAW-110 received the first Grumman C-2A(R) Greyhounds. The FIREBIRDS operated from NAS Miramar as the (FRS) for VRC-30. FRAMP training was also conducted in Miramar.

In COD we trust 🙏.
All is not rosey with the V-22 Osprey fleet, and the C-2A Greyhound replacement CMV-22 ‘CODSprey’ is “Not Operationally Suitable” according to a test report.
Long live the mighty Greyhound! #cod

@ace_pio Your pictures of the parallel flight are so cool, they could fit directly into one of my new publications about the C-2A. You were in the right place at the right moment. Just great!
@xaviervav Xavier, thanks for share your trip to the Ford. Great. Happy to share your image with my C-2 community. @c2greyhound also on my web page at https://t.co/dFGNGIXU0I Boerries

Grumman C-2A Greyhound BuNo 152792 was one of 4 aircrafts in the 2nd batch, built by Grumman. Like the others 15290-152793, all were delivered to VR 30 COD to NAS Alameda. This is a part of the history that I desribe in my second book about the first C-2A.
