On 28 July 2026, that homely twin-turboprop made the sound one last time &mdash; and about 6,000 people drove to Pensacola to hear it.<\/p><p>The Navy&rsquo;s very last Greyhound, flown by the &ldquo;Rawhides&rdquo; of Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VRC) 40, touched down at NAS Pensacola&rsquo;s Sherman Field after a formation flypast with the Blue Angels. Then it taxied in, got hosed down by the fire trucks, and was handed over to the National Naval Aviation Museum. Six decades. Done.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px;border-radius:6px;margin:24px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:18px\">Quick Facts: Grumman C-2A Greyhound<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;line-height:1.8\"><li><strong>Role:<\/strong> Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD)<\/li><li><strong>Primer vuelo:<\/strong> 1964 &nbsp;|&nbsp; <strong>En servicio:<\/strong> 1966&ndash;2026<\/li><li><strong>Origen:<\/strong> Grumman &mdash; derived from the E-2 Hawkeye<\/li><li><strong>Multitud:<\/strong> 4 &nbsp;|&nbsp; <strong>Motores:<\/strong> 2 &times; Allison T56 turboprops<\/li><li><strong>Career tally:<\/strong> 250,000+ carrier landings; 100+ million lb of cargo<\/li><li><strong>Last flight:<\/strong> 28 July 2026, NAS Pensacola &mdash; replaced by the CMV-22B Osprey<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The last of the tailhook truckers<\/h2><p>The C-2A was never glamorous. It had no radar, no missiles, no swing wing &mdash; just a widened fuselage, a rear ramp, and a stubborn willingness to slam onto a pitching deck with the mail. Grumman built it in the 1960s off the bones of the E-2 Hawkeye: same wings, same engines, minus the giant radar dome. It first flew in 1964 and entered service in 1966, and it simply never stopped working.<\/p><p>Over its career the Greyhound racked up more than 250,000 carrier landings and hauled over 100 million pounds of cargo. For most of a sailor&rsquo;s time at sea, the C-2 was the umbilical cord to home.<\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width:550px;margin:0 auto 28px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2082168975840960823&theme=light\" style=\"width:100%;height:400px;border:none;border-radius:12px;overflow:hidden\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The commanding officer who flew the last mission put the sentiment better than any press release could.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;When a C-2 appears on the horizon, it brings with it far more than just cargo.

What it cannot do is be a Greyhound &mdash; and for the generation of sailors who cheered every time one trapped aboard, that is the whole point.<\/p><p>The last airframe will be rehabilitated and go on display at Pensacola in 2027.
