The Grumman C-2 Greyhound is a twin-engine, high-wing cargo aircraft, designed to carry supplies, mail, and passengers to and from aircraft carriers of the United States Navy. Its primary mission is carrier onboard delivery (COD). The aircraft provides critical logistics support to carrier strike groups. The aircraft is mainly used to transport high-priority cargo, mail, and passengers between carriers and shore bases, and can also deliver cargo such as jet engines and special stores.
Prototype C-2s first flew in 1964, and production followed the next year. The initial Greyhound aircraft were overhauled in 1973. In 1984, more C-2As were ordered under designation Reprocured C-2A or C-2A(R). In 2010, all C-2A(R) aircraft received updated propellers (from four to eight blades) and navigational updates (glass cockpit). Starting in 2020, the U.S. Navy will start to replace the remaining 27 C-2As with 38 CMV-22Bs, expecting to fully replace the C-2 fleet by 2024.

All folded up for carrier life.. Very cool shot of this Greyhound, Richard!

I love the folded, crowded feel of the plane (because the wings are folded-in), and the feeling that when this plane is fully open, it will take over this space. Sweet shadow against that bright bleached light. And half the image has the hangar as background, while the other half has the city or town. Really well composed. (I've never studied planes, nor flown any, so what I'm about to say is reeeeallly naive: But whenever I see a plane like this---with its wings folded up---I expect someone to come along, fold the plane over and over, until it fits in their brief case, and then walk away. I'd pay to see that....I think Buster Keaton would've done that in one of his silent films...it'd be a good film prank, if nothing else...)

Wow, really well designed for its mission. I bet a deck take-off would be exhilarating.
