USN Grumman C-2A 162178 leaving Souda, and flying westwards.
It already did so yesterday.
Is there a carrier (air group) around ?

Stennis in the Med heading East ….. Lincoln in the Red heading west! Hope they have their anti-collision lights on!

I've got these totally A over T :oops: What I meant to say is:
Lincoln in the Med heading East ….. Stennis in the Red heading West. They have swapped homeports.

But the 162178 is not with the one sailing east (CVN72 USS Abraham Lincoln). 162161/42 and 162143/44 are connected with CVN72.
162152 and 162178 are connected with the carrier CVN74 USS John C Stennis which is sailing west in the Med.
