This is a video of my good friend and I coming in to land a Navy C2A Greyhound on the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier a few years back. As the copilot in this video, my role was to back up the pilot throughout the entire approach and make sure we didn’t do anything that could kill us.

Typically for a ‘carrier break’ in an E2 or C2, you turn about one mile past the ship to fly a racetrack landing pattern before rolling into short final. For this pass though, we had distinguished visitors onboard so we had to perform a “DV StraightIn.” Although it’s not as exciting as a typical carrier break, this is still a great video to grasp a sense of what it takes to land a cargo plane on a moving runway in the middle of the ocean. It’s been a few years since this video was recorded, but I miss flying on and off of aircraft carriers every day.

The C2 is the Navy's premier logistics and transport aircraft and is arguably one of the hardest planes to land on the boat. Naval Aviation has been synonymous with aircraft landing at sea for over 100 years.
