What's the story on the O2 bottle? *I have not been following this group for

Thanks.

Oscar Zulu, the ASW-20, had 20 lbs of lead shot in the
tail. It flew like butter.

I was in the partnership that consisted of Don Engen and
Mark Barnett. It was flown for several years at the
Hiltons. Mark would have more history as would Tom Stowers.

Nicest ship I ever flew.
