Does anyone know if the C-2 Greyhounds will be flying on Saturday or Sunday of this weekend?

Any help would be very appreciated,
Sam

Saturday:
Local chatter is saying out at 1600hrs after the C-26 returns and back for 2000hrs.

Many thanks! Are there any movements on Sunday or do they have a day off?

Sam,
I'm led to believe they will fly, but I don't have any details to hand I'm afraid.

Are the C-2s parked outside during the weekend? Planning a trip this Saturday.
MTIA!

One C-2 departed to the carrier yesterday and stated that it will not return, the second I believe is still tucked away in the hangar broken.

I stand to be corrected but I believe that the second C2 departed back to the carrier yesterday afternoon.

Don't recall C-2s remaining aboard on visits to Stokes Bay before but be nice if they do.

Hi all

Can anyone clarify that the two C-2s have returned to the ship and are not at Yeovilton?

Messages suggested this yesterday, just a conflicting reply this morning.

Kind regards, C

Can anyone on base clarify also when they return to the carrier again (what a mess up)....
I have yet to get them on base, only overhead at 8000ft!

Hi rich,

One is still hangared -tucked just inside the hangar door closest to the "arrivals" field.
The Second flew today - out at 1000 and returned at 1320
It routed out via Beachy Head in the morning, same callsign as its used all week
At 1500 it did an engine test but then shut down and all seemed quiet.
I left at 1600 so there may have been movements afterwards

Seems they will be heading to Hyeres (departure tomorrow or Saturday?)

"Washington offers the use of two C-2 Greyhound for trips to the Charles de Gaulle off the coast of Libya. First flight Saturday

From Saturday, May 28, two C-2 Greyhound aircraft will enter rotations between the Naval Air Station in Hyeres, where 50 American pilots and mechanics currently installed, and the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, deployed off Libya." (google translate)
