Strap in the cockpit of a C-2 Greyhound as it launches from USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier on Christmas Day a few years back.

Although Christmas Day is just an ordinary work day for pilots on duty all around the world, some of them like to celebrate the mission in a special way. For example, in the past we have reported about U.S. combat pilots wearing Santa Hat on their flight helmet while joining the tanker for AAR (Air-to-Air Refueling) during a combat mission on Christmas Day, and, you search online, you can find several images of U.S. Navy sailors dressed as Santa Claus working on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.

The video in this article shows a catapult launch on Christmas Day in a U.S. Navy C-2A(R) Greyhound with the Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 40 (VRC-40) “Rawhides”. The pilots don’t wear it, but the Santa Hat is clearly visible in the cockpit, attached to one of the windshield’s mounts.
