The C-2A was ancient back in 87-93 when I flew it. I always wondered why it wasn’t replaced with the V-22 ages ago.

I always wondered why it (COD) wasn’t replaced with the V-22 ages ago.

Tanknetter hit it with range/load capability. The Navy has always been reluctant to adopt the Osprey primarily due to the costs and "availability rate" of the V-22 anyway. Also, on-board maintenance presents a multitude of problems.
