Grumman C-2A Greyhound of the VRC-50, the Foo Dogs. In 1976, several Grumman C-2A Greyhounds got names. Why the BuNo 152794 got this special name is not known to me. This Greyhound was christened "The COD Father". Maybe someone knows the story behind it. ROMEO GOLF 421. Date August 22, 1976 at Atsugi, Japan (Masumi Wada photo / collection Boerries Burkhardt)
