Background

Ozzie Hathaway is a Mayanist who works for the Las Angeles Archaeological Museum in Los Angeles, California.


During the events of Airwolf: Season 2 Episode 22 Short Walk to Freedom played by Brian Farrell

Stringfellow Hawke and Caitlin O'Shannessy are flying Kay Freestone, Ozzie, Cookie, Ernie and Jonathan to an archaeological field school to excavate Mayan ruins. Jonathan reads facts about the Mayans to the others in the plane and Kay comments that when her mother took her to China, there were places without hot water. The plane lands and Chema Comargo greets Ozzie. Caitlin sees Miguel forging parts for the bus Ozzie and his students are going to take to the archaeological site. Miguel mentions there have been lots of guerrilla activity lately including those led by Colonel Arturo Alazar, who hates Americans. Comargo pulls Ozzie aside and tells him about the looted artifacts he has for Ozzie to smuggle back to the United States. Hawke flies the plane back while Caitlin stays with Ozzie and the students. Comargo decides to take a shortcut and crashes the bus into an embankment. Sergeant and a group of rebels walk up to the bus and orders Comargo to follow behind him in his jeep. They drive into the base of Colonel Alazar and Colonel Alazar recognizes Comargo. Ozzie tells Colonel Alazar that he has the ability to smuggle artifacts out of the country. Colonel Alazar becomes offended by Ozzie's offer and tells him bribery will be added to his crimes. Caitlin, Ozzie and the students are then placed in a cell. In the cell, Caitlin confronts Ozzie and he lies and says he isn't a smuggler. Hawke and Dominic in Airwolf fire on the ammo cache, causing it to explode and attack other parts of the guerrilla base before shooting a hole in the cell wall and landing. Hawke runs to the cell after riding inside a net basket hanging from the bottom of Airwolf, but Airwolf is hit with bazooka fire. During the escape, Ozzie falls out of the basket and Hawke jumps down to alleviate the weight hanging from Airwolf. Colonel Alazar chastises Ozzie for using students to help smuggle artifacts and tells him he is going to kill him, but he doesn't deserve a man's death. As Ozzie is being taken away, he grabs a rifle from a rebel and starts shooting rebels until he is shot dead.
