VRC-30 C-2A GREYHOUND DRIVER

 

     
VRC-30        
 GREYHOUND DRIVER        

 

VRC-30 operates the venerable C-2A Greyhound in the performance of the Carrier On-Board Delivery "C.O.D." mission. The Providers transport passengers, high-priority aircraft, ship, and weapons system components, U.S. Mail, and other cargo to and from the United States Navy's Pacific Fleet aircraft carriers, both at home in Southern California and wherever our CVNs may be deployed around the world. By providing rapid daily air delivery service between ship and shore, VRC-30 maximizes the warfighting readiness of deployed Carrier Strike Groups (CSG) and enables CSG commanders to bring maximum lethality to the enemies of the United States, wherever they may be.

At August of 2016, the Grumman C-2A(R) Greyhound was transfered from the VRC-30 DET 1 "HUSTLERS" to the VRC-30 DET 5 "WE DELIVER". The aircraft used the way over Anchorage to fly to Atsugi, Japan. During this transfer, Password 33 had the Sun Tail overpainted with the darf NAVY blue as it was planed to get paint in Atsugi with the DET 5 Japan Sun. Not sure if this were the aircrew, but the bird had the following name on the C-2A. LCDR Mark "MADDOG" David, LT James "MADEA" Lyons, AWF3 Fung Winer, AWF2 Anthony Ingram, AWF2 Destry Moore and AWF2 John Cotter.
