Named Boopsie. was first aircraft to land on ice (but ski-equipped) at Little America in Antarctica Dec 20, 1955. Crashed during landing at McMurdo, Antarctica on Oct 18, 1956 in support of Operation Deep Freeze II. 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. 122466 Assigned to VX-6, McMurdo Station, Antarctica. Named Amen!. 122466 which had already returned to NAS Patuxent River, MD, was ordered back to Antarctica for the search.

Part of this serial number batch appears to have included some of a group of ten YR-13 Model 47As transferred from US Army. Army serials were 46-236,237,242,243,244,249,250,251,253,254. Two were transferred to the USCG but this leaves 8, yet only six appeared to have been renumbered. These six helicopters were initially assigned BuNos 122453/122458. However the serials 122453/122458 were subsequently reassigned to the P2V Neptune batch, and the serials of these six helicopters were transferred to the 122952/122963 batch.

While on a spying mission from NAS Iwakuni, Japan 22Aug56, the aircraft disappeared at night after reporting an attack by Chinese MiG-17F fighters 32 miles off the coast of China near Wenchow, about half-way between Formosa and Shanghai. There were no survivors of the 16-man crew. Four bodies were later recovered along with some aircraft debris which had a MiG cannon shell in a bomb bay fuel tank.

The aircraft was on final approach to Incirlik Air Base, Adana, Turkey when it crashed 41 miles from the end of the runway. The aircraft crashed into a ravine at the top of the snow covered mountains. The ensuing fire melted the overhanging and surrounding snow which flooded the wreckage and froze, entombing it in ice. It was difficult for the rescue crew to free the lost crewmen from the ice. 124366 VP-21, NAS Patuxent River, MD. Accident 16Feb51 at NAS Patuxent River during a local familiarization flight.

Patrol Unit/Naval Communications Unit 32G, Code AG, NAF Port Lyautey, French Morocco The aircraft departed Nicosia, Cyprus 6Feb52 for a spy mission over the Black Sea off Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine. During a racetrack pattern off the coast the right engine failed when an oil line blew. The aircraft headed back to Cyprus but using the auxiliary jet engines increased fuel consumption [the mission precluded landing in Turkey]. Shortly after leaving the Turkish coast the engines failed with fuel exhaustion and the aircraft was ditched in the Mediterranean Sea near Cyprus in the early hours of 7Feb52. The crew escaped but the Plane Commander re-entered the aircraft to check that all crew were out, but became trapped when the aircraft began to sink and was drowned. Crew rescued by HMS Chevron 124372 converted to P4M-1Q. Patrol Unit/Naval Communications Unit 32G, Code XD-1, NAF Port Lyautey, French Morocco. Damaged 27Nov53 when the aircraft landed with gear retracted at Port Lyautey. Flown to NAS Norfolk, VA for repair. Suffered accident in unspecified incident 11/19/1957 and SOC 7/27/1958. 124373 , Code HC-1, NAS Patuxent River, MD. Damaged 18Nov51 taxying at Port Lyautey during a local familiarization flight. Damaged 1Jun52 in collision with parked PBY-6A BuNo 46646 taxying at NAS Jacksonville, FL. converted to P4M-1Q. VQ-2, Code JQ-3, NAF Port Lyautey, French Morocco. The aircraft was to be ferried from Port Lyautey to Norfolk. The pilot conducted a test flight at Port Lyautey during which an electrical fire developed in the main circuit breaker panel. The trouble was investigated, but no record of repair was noted. Another test flight was conducted without incident. Leaving Port Lyautey on January 4, 1958, the aircraft proceeded to Lajes, Azores and thence to Bermuda. Prior to take-off from Bermuda, a fuel leak was discovered in the right main engine fuel line to the pressure gauge. Repair was made and the flight departed Bermuda on January 6, 1958. Jet engines were used until the bomb bay fuel tanks had been emptied. Continuing on reciprocating engines only the flight was uneventful until preparations were made to land at Norfolk, VA. In the vicinity of Naval Air Station, Oceana, attempts to start the port jet failed. The starboard jet started, but it idled at 85% and the TOT went up to 900 degrees. Further attempts were made to start both jets, but without success. The decision was made to make the approach on main engines only. Approaching Naval Air Station, Norfolk, the pilot was cleared to enter traffic and break right to the downwind leg of runway 28. While on down wind, Navy Norfolk Tower requested 4373 to extend his approach to let a jet land first. The pilot complied with Tower instructions and started to turn on base after extending his downwind leg. After turning about 45 degrees to the right, the port engine lost power. The aircraft continued turning right at a reduced rate of turn for another 45 degrees. The flight path was now just about perpendicular to the beach in the vicinity of Ocean View and the aircraft was losing altitude. Shortly after passing over the beach, a left turn was started. The aircraft continued on in a nose high attitude and struck several cottages and automobiles which were it its flight path. The aircraft started to come apart as it hit the cottages. The aircraft struck the ground in an empty lot and continued sliding across a road into a small cottage where it came to rest and started to burn. Location of crash is listed as 22nd St. & E. Ocean View Ave. The aircraft and property were destroyed by fire. 124374/124379 Grumman UF-1 Albatross Model G-64 124374 (MSN 10) delivered to US Navy Dec 30, 1949 124375 (MSN 13) delivered to US Navy Feb 17, 1950 124376 (MSN 16) delivered to US Navy Mar 9, 1950 124377 (MSN 19) delivered to US Navy Mar 31, 1950 124378 (MSN 22) delivered to US Navy May 8, 1950 124379 (MSN 25) delivered to US Navy May 23, 1950 124380/124414 Vought F6U-1 Pirate contract cancelled 124415/124434 Vought F7U-1 Cutlass 124429/124434 cancelled 124419 crashed on landing in Norfolk, Virginia in late October 1953. 124426 and 124427 were flown by the Blue Angels 124428 assigned to NAS Dallas, TX.
