C2 Greyhound
The C-2A Greyhound , twin-engine cargo aircraft designed to land on aircraft carriers, provides critical logistics support to aircraft carriers. Its primary mission is carrier on-board delivery. Powered by two T-6 turboprop engines, the C-2A can deliver a payload of up to 10,000 pounds. The cabin can readily accommodate cargo, passengers or both.

While the older C-2s were withdrawn from service by 1987, those of the second batch remain in use, and two C-2 Greyhounds equip each carrier air wing. Plans had called for the C-2 to be replaced by a new plane called the Common Support Aircraft, but that effort appears to have been shelved. The C-2 will likely remain in service until at least 2020.

Last August, Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) inducted its last Greyhound to undergo PMI-3, the final interval in the maintenance cycle. Painting, the last step in the PMI-3 interval, is done at FRCSW in Building 466. "We take a C-2 from a completely primed aircraft to a new paint job in 12 days," said Aircraft Services Paint.

The C-2A Greyhound is a derivative of the E-2 Hawkeye and replaced the piston-engine powered C-1 Trader in the Carrier On-board Delivery role. The C-2A shares wings, and empennage with the E-2 Hawkeye, but has a widened fuselage with a rear loading ramp. The first of two prototypes flew in 1964 and production began the following year.

The C-2 Greyhound replaced the similar Grumman C-1 Traders in the same carrier-based role. C-1 Traders were twin piston-engine transports developed from the Grumman S-2 Tracker and appeared in 1952, operating until 1988. The Greyhound prototype achieved first flight in 1964 while C-2A production began in 1965, lasting until 1968.

The improvements in the C-2A increased the flight time between failures and cut maintenance man-hours in half. With all the changes, it is still a C-2 (its basic airframe is the same as the E-2C Hawkeye), and uses components common to aircraft presently in the fleet so the new planes easily fit into fleet operations and maintenance routines.
