I kept digging, and, searching for the "Polar Pumpkin", found the story
of the man and the airplane. Art Mortvedt had flown a number of
missions to Antarctia, and overflew the South Pole in 1999. He
completed his personal mission by overflying the North Pole in 2013.
This link, if it works, will give you his story. I suspect that
"Antarctic Air", a tour provider, was a sponsor.
When they left Tullahoma, his wife was in the left seat.
