	Visit to the USS John F. Kennedy Visiting the USS Kennedy After 8 years of efforts (mailing, phonong, faxing), a highly wanted photoreport was about to come true. Tuesday July 30th, an email from the US Navy was received. Arrived at Reus Airport, it was unclear what the transportation would be. A helicopter or a C-2 Greyhound. About an hour before departure, 2 C-2A's landed. So that was the way to go. Some 45 minutes after departure, the C-2A pilot opened the cargo door and a nice Air-to-Sea photo could be made. 24 hours later we could leave the ship in the Port of Tarragona. In between, we could photograph the aircraft during launch fly-past and landing. Publications of the visit Check out the publications in other media of this visit to the USS Kennedy. Credit We would like to thank the 6 Fleet PAO (Ross, Richardson), the US attaché in Spain (Wenceslao), the USS Kennedy (all 5200 on board) and all other people involved to make this happen.
