Historical Information

The Northrop Grumman C-2A Greyhound was developed as a carrier-based transport aircraft delivering supplies, personnel, and mail to American Navy aircraft carriers operating at sea. It first entered service in 1966, replacing the earlier C-1 Trader model. Its main role was cargo transport (Carrier Onboard Delivery – COD), which made it a key logistical support link for the US Navy for decades. It participated in many operations and military exercises around the world — during the Cold War, as well as peacekeeping and wartime missions in the 21st century.
