Caption: - The Northrop Grumman-built C-2 A Greyhound took its maiden flight on November 18, 1964, and entered service with the U.S. Navy in 1966. With a primary mission of transporting high-priority cargo, critical aircraft parts, and passengers to deployed Carrier Strike Groups, the C-2A Greyhound provides critical logistics support. The C-2A Greyhound can deliver up to 10,000 pounds of cargo over distances in excess of 1,000nm without refueling, allowing Carrier Strike Groups greater maneuver space and flexibility.
