The US Navy's C-2A Greyhound conducted its last flight, landing at Naval Air Station Pensacola to be inducted into the National Naval Aviation Museum. The final flight marks the end of the aircraft's service. The C-2A Greyhound had previously completed its final flight operations off an aircraft carrier last month.

Why it matters

The retirement of the C-2A Greyhound is significant as it marks the end of an era for the aircraft, which has played a crucial role in the US Navy's operations. Its retirement will likely lead to the introduction of new aircraft or systems to replace its capabilities.
