Established at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland on 17 January 1955, the squadron's mission was to conduct operations in support of Operation Deep Freeze, the operational component of the United States Antarctic Program. Using the tail code XD, the squadron flew numerous fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters over the course of its existence—many of which were pioneering endeavors. For example, the first air link between Antarctica and New Zealand was established by men and aircraft of VX-6 in 1955. The following year, a ski-equipped R4D Dakota of VX-6 became the first aircraft to land at the South Pole. In 1961, the first emergency midwinter medical evacuation flight was conducted from Byrd Station to Christchurch. In 1963, an LC-130F Hercules of VX-6 made the longest flight in Antarctic history. In 1967, a United States Navy LC-130F of VX-6 completed the first scheduled winter flight to Antarctica, landing at Williams Field. VX-6 changed the tail code of its aircraft to JD in 1957, and was redesignated as Antarctic Handcraft from Mahogany US Naval Aviator Owned Business Highly detailed with minimal decals Matched against historic photos Heirloom Pieces UPC 840231505390 Color Lockheed Martin C-121j Constellation, Vx-6 Puckered Penguins 'Pegasus' 1965, 18 Mahogany Model Theme Cartoon Brand Name Squadron Nostalgia LLC Item Weight 2 Kilograms Manufacturer Squadron Nostalgia LLC Item Dimensions 18 x 18 x 8 inches Additional Features Portable Age Range Description Kid Are Batteries Required No Batteries are Included No Manufacturer Minimum Age MONTHS 36.00
