Lockheed-Cessna Pinto is an osprey introduced in Chromebook Volume 2 and expanded on in Maximum Metal.

Chromebook Volume 2 Description

There's a target on the ground. The jet fighters whizz past at 400+ miles per hour, firing. Missed! Not enough fire to take it out; the jet went by too fast. Call in the gunships! Oops, they're not fast enough to make it to the target zone in time. When a jet is too fast, and a helicopter is too slow, and an AV is too vulnerable, you have to to turn to the old standby: The prop plane.

The Pinto is a STOL weapons platform. It has the speed to get to the target area, the rough-landing capability to lurk on the ground behind the lines, waiting for action, and the loiter time to hover around the battlefield.

The Pinto. It's not another one-trick pony.
