In COD We Trust (Goodbye Navy C-2 Greyhound) V-22 Osprey

 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.
