Launching a C-2 Greyhound after a catapult suspend

This is the second of 2 catapult suspends while trying to launch this C-2. Finally things are cleared up and it goes flying.

Rare to get a suspend on film.

What was wrong, why the suspend?

@gtc1961 They were both suspends initiated up in tower. I think the crosswinds for the COD were approaching out of limits. They have a wind gauge up there too.

Thanks for the memories. VRC-30 Det 3 USS Constellation Westpac 97 and 99

@Juiceflight You bet.

Thanks for sharing videos like this one. I'm fascinated by the flight deck operations

[backrotor1]

@qatdude No problem.

[gtc1961]

@backrotor1 Really??? We always turned into the wind for a launch so crosswinds weren't a factor. I guess this was a single plane launch and they didn't want to divert off course.
