- 122465 was first aircraft to land on ice (but ski-equipped) at Little America in Antarctica, December 20, 1955.
- Crashed during landing at McMurdo, Antarctica on in support of Operation Deep Freeze II, October 18, 1956.
- Departed Christchurch NZ to McMurdo along with other long range aircraft of VX-6. After passing the PSR (point of safe return) a severe storm enveloped the McMurdo area. Since they had insufficient fuel to return to Christchurch they were committed to flying into the storm and landing at McMurdo. The pilot made a ground controlled approach from 12,000 feet to 300 feet and then elected to make a visual landing. With the landing gear down the plane began to turn right, the nose of the plane fell, and the Neptune struck the snow on the nose and right wing. The Neptune was completely demolished.
- Four killed, 4 injured.
