Many of flights on this plane. Landing on a Carrier in the back,
facing towards the rear. This so on landing not to hurt or break
your neck. Always have your head down on landing also.
( best roller coaster ride in the world. )
COD - Carrier On Board Delivery
Brought mail, personnel and spare parts on board carriers.
The reasons that the Navy is replacing the C-2 with the CMV-22,
are age, vanishing parts vendors, and the ability of the Osprey to
carry a complete F135PW-400 engine without being broken down
into smaller components for loading aboard the C-2, plus, the CODSPREY
can conduct VITREP/VOD along with performing the traditional COD
mission, without the cargo broken down into smaller sling loads for the
choppers to take over to the Strike Group's escorting Cruisers, and
Destroyers, which is time consuming.
