In Januay 2001, the Rawhides didn't know that after September 11, 2001 a time of extrem flight and deployment started. Here we see Grumman C-2A Greyhound RAWHIDES 52 at Norfolk. Pilot of the C-2A was LT Quincy "Q" Flemming. The patch was used after September 11 with VRC-40 DET 2. Sorry don't know the BuNo of the C-2A(R).
