"Frisky" just landed at Naval Air Station Lakehurst (KNEL), New Jersey.
Note "N.A.S. ANACOSIA U.S. NAVY" on the fuselage. How strange for a tansamerica record flight as there is around 185 miles between the two Naval Air Stations (N.A.S Anacosia is near Washington D.C.).

Vought UO-1

Scout biplane built by Vought and used by "Frisky" to test the parasite aircraft with the airship.
In fact, such test were made by the Navy at the end of 1929 and 1930. They led to the definitive concept (with onboard hangar) of the future USS Akron (ZRS-4) and USS Macon (ZRS-5). [[Image:|thumb|500px|none|]]

Note the serial A6915 on the tail.

Fokker F.10

Once on Antarctica, the crew eventually used a Fokker F.10.
Registration is seen on a model during the crash scene : NC591E.
This was used for a Fokker F.10A (c/n 1021) of Western Air Express which crashed ... in October 1929 ... in New Mexico !
