The following video shows what approaching, landing and parking onboard a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier looks like from the cockpit of a C-2 Greyhound COD (Carrier Onboard Delivery) plane.

The interesting footage was filmed with a GoPro camera by Tailhook Production’s Matthew Clements aboard “ROMEO-G0LF03”, a C-2A Greyhound from VRC-40 Detachment 4 (IV) assigned to Carrier Air Wing 3 (CVW-3).

The aircraft performed a TRAP landing onboard the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) which was underway in the Mediterranean Sea towards Suez.

  1. You should be on the deck instead of in the cockpit and you would realize just how noisy it really is. Waaay too noisy to take a nap.
