tosouthern66 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 on the eve of Thanksgiving we have lost a C-2A aircraft head out to meet the USS Reagan. Eight people have been rescued and a search for three missing is underway. I hope they find the three missing soon prayers and thoughts go out to the families, friends and crew members.

No, three haven’t been found and the navy has called off the search. I read on another site the three were found although that information was wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Somewhat OT but an interesting firsthand account of flying the C-2. These seem to be "challenging" aircraft, as does the COD mission in general. Author also has some thoughts on the C-2's proposed replacement. http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/16535/confessions-of-a-c-2-greyhound-carrier-onboard-delivery-pilot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
