Ossie had a B55 - TOV. Highest houred baron around. Leaked like a seive when flying in rain.

And he had IXA the aerostar, IXP the cheiftan, SAO of course named after Shirley Ann Osgood, ECO the partenavia named after Edward Charlie Osgood, IXD another partenavia (both ex coastwatch). Cheese and vegemite sandwitches were provided by Shirley to the crew EVERY day. That way they could not claim any allowances. And then there was his old Aztec, but I would prefer not to talk about that.

And the Pitts!
