RARE Visitor at Lisbon Airport! US Navy C2 Greyhound Landing & Takeoff

Rare US Navy Grumman C2A Greyhound Landing & Takeoff at Lisbon Airport. This unique aircraft, with its distinctive twin-boom design and powerful turboprop engines, was designed to transport high-ranking naval officers and critical cargo between ships at sea and shore bases.

Why is the Grumman C2A Greyhound so rare?

The C2A was primarily used for transporting high-ranking naval officers and critical cargo. With the advent of newer and more versatile aircraft, the Greyhound gradually phased out of service. Today, only a handful of these iconic aircraft remain, making them a rare sight in the skies. If you're lucky enough to spot a Grumman C2A Greyhound, consider yourself fortunate to have witnessed a piece of aviation history.
