Why CONVOY
The US Navy's Air Logistics Office in New Orleans moves people and cargo between naval air stations, the Navy's counterpart to the Air Force's REACH. A convoy is the naval word for ships moving together under escort. The first digit of a CONVOY flight number gives the aircraft type: 3 for a C-130, 4 for a C-40.
The US Navy Air Logistics Office, based in New Orleans, Louisiana, coordinates and manages critical airlift operations for the United States Navy. This specialized logistics division ensures the efficient transport of military personnel, equipment, and supplies across global operational theaters. The office relies on a versatile fleet of transport aircraft, notably the C-40 Clipper, to support fleet readiness and logistical demands.
