Geordi La Forge flew the Onizuka from the Enterprise-D to planet Risa for an artificial-intelligence seminar in 2367. It was later revealed that La Forge and the Onizuka were abducted in midflight by Romulans, then returned to the Enterprise-D with La Forge under Romulan mental control. TNG The Mind's Eye

The shuttle was named after Challenger astronaut Ellison Onizuka.
The Onizuka was sometimes seen in other episodes, sitting in the shuttlebay. The Onizuka was Shuttlepod 07, although in its first appearance, it had the number 05, left over from the prop's first appearance as the El-Baz. A tiny replica of the Onizuka is on display at the Ellison Onizuka Space Center museum in Kona, Hawaii, Ellison's hometown.
Name from screenshot. Number from dialogue. Type is a speculation of the ST Encyclopedia.
