At the end of Jan I had a business trip to SoCal where I had a free afternoon so I headed to NAS North Island in the hope of catching both versions of the US Navy CODs - the C-2 Greyhound and the CMV-22B Osprey. Although it was a bit of a quiet afternoon, I did get both plus a few other visitors. It's a great location though just sitting on the beach soaking up the sun. I then travelled to Davis-Monthan AFB and caught the new EA-37 Compass Call. I prefer the old EC-130!!

Thanks,
Neil.

Great set of shots. Very lucky to get such a super variety. Can't barely remember what an aircraft looks like in a blue sky!

Cracking stuff, liking the CMV-22s, looking forward to more snaps from DM, if you know what I mean.

Thanks for sharing these with us, great shots and plenty of variety too.

Twin Otter is interesting. No markings at all as far as I can see, plus the finlets on the horizontal stabilisers (more commonly seen on float or ski-configured Twotters). Nice shots.

Dan, I beleive the Twin Otters are used by the US Navy for pilot training.
