I was stationed at VR-24 at the Mech Shop. We flew the C2. It was a hell of a aircraft. I miss the C2 and the sound of the APU firing up on a warm summer morning, sending the crew off to the boat…..Those were the days.
You will never find a better ride at an amusement park than riding a COD to the deck on a stormy day. Rides at amusement parks don’t come with barf bags.
Thanks for the video. I flew in the COD with VR-24 as a planecaptain in the mid 70’s. Brought back a lot of good memories. Wish she would get more attention than she does.
Nice footage will post some rare shots of my own
RG 424 (152797) with an IFR probe
probably turning to dust in the desert At Davis Monthan now. Shout out to all my Cubi buds, great days, we roamed the skies from Adak to Perth/Buggz- AMS2/LM
Thanks for the video. I worked on them in VR-24 and then in VRC-40. Many memorable moments. Now I’m teaching and so happy I was able to find such a great resource to show to my kids what I used to do.

I’ve always had an affection for the COD guys. Not everyone can be a fighter jock.
