The sleek greyhound image obviously represtents the sleek, speed like lines of the mighty C-2A(R) Greyhound :)
 
631 would have to be up, not just looking better to get the airborne shots.

I think 32 and 33 were the only up CODs the whole time I was at 120.
 
Big advantage to flying the mighty COD

I had 3 C-2's taxi with us yesterday at NASNI. "Password" was the callsign. Are those locally based C-2s?
Also, we tried to get out to San Nicolas Island for some patterns, but Beaver completely turned us away. Is it generally difficult to get out to there?

Yep, VRC-30 is based out of NASNI, callsign "Password." Just a bad callsign I think. VRC-50 used to be "Greenbush" so there's a few ways to use that one creatively. As JO's, we wanted to rename the callsign "Chuck Wagon" but the front officer wanted no part of it.

Off topic, one of my old bosses joked that he wanted to get the ship's JANAP callsign changed to The F--- Ship. That one never got higher than a group of guys sitting around telling jokes :)
