Reedy, USN, Commander of the Navy’s Antarctic Support Forces, (center), discusses his historic 4,700 mile flight with Commander Robert Marvel, (left), Officer in Charge of McMurdo Station for the winter-over period of Operation Deepfreeze. The admiral was in one of two C-130 “Hercules” that made the non-stop flight from Capetown, South Africa, to the Pole. Although added fuel tanks gave the two ski-equipped planes a take-off weight of 45,000 pounds – 10,000 pounds over their normal weight, they left Capetown on schedule September 30. The flight took 14 hours and 31 minutes. Photograph by PH2 T.J. Regina, released October 8, 1963. (2015/10/20). 330-PSA-214-63 (USN 823641): McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.
