Greyhound on the loose in the morning sun! Glad to have caught the veritable C-2A(R) Greyhound, Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) aircraft on its last cruise with the carrier USS Nimitz before retirement at the end of this year. For close to 40 years, these Greyhounds from VRC-30, the Providers, have rendered sterling service as the crucial transport and logistics platform in support of carrier operations. They are a welcome sight out at sea for many a sailor. Just like the bright sun rays that burst forth with the winged-horse that provides help and relief in the time of need that’s depicted on their squadron patch - Providers surely. As they run down the clock on flying time, soon it will be full blown Osprey season. 👍👍💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸 #AviationGeek #MilitaryEnthusiast #MilitaryAviation #aviation4u #excellentaviation #PlaneSpotter #ShipSpotter #USNavy #USN #USPacificFleet #7thFleet #Grumman #C2AGreyhound #VRC30 #Providers #CVW17 #CSG11 #CVN68 #USSNimitz #UncleChester #OldSalt #TeamworkATradition #Singapore #USA #Nikon #NikonZ9 #Nikonsg #PlanesPatchesPeople (at Singapore / Singapura / 新加坡 / சிங்கப்பூர்) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoQ4SpKPF2I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
