Planes skipper6/27/2023 As the film ends, Skipper watches Dusty and his colleagues with Piston Peak Air Attack perform an aerial show for all of Propwash. Eventually, they were forced to admit that no supplier has his gearbox.Īt the end of the film, Dusty had gotten certified, as well have gotten a brand new, custom gearbox made by Maru. ![]() As with the Wings Around the Globe rally, Skipper and his friends kept in contact with Dusty via radio. The next day, Skipper saw Dusty off as he flew to Piston Peak National Park to get certified as a firefighter. Skipper attempted to calm the crowd before deferring to Dottie, who announced her plan to refurbish Mayday to meet Ryker's regulations, before adding that their only problem left was hiring a second firefighter, which Leadbottom pointed would be difficult as it was fire season. This throws the town into a panic, knowing that planes can't have their Corn Festival with the airport shut down. The next day, government inspector Ryker shuts down the airport for inadequate firefighting personnel. Left with no alternative, Skipper helped his friends bring down the water tower to smother the fire. Mayday attempted to douse the fire, only for his hose to sprout leaks. ![]() Subsequently, Dusty went on a defiant flight to test his limits, only to make a crashed landing at Propwash Junction airport, causing a fire. Skipper tried to politely talk Leadbottom down but the biplane didn't listen to him. Unfortunately, Leadbottom included himself in the conversation, saying that he's willing to offer Dusty his old crop duster job. Then suddenly, Chug and Sparky drove up, announcing that they're contacting parts suppliers to find his replacement gearbox. Skipper later took Dusty for a drink at Honkers, the local bar, assuring him that Dottie wouldn't have said what she said if she wasn't sure. This model of gearbox had been out of production for years and was too complex for Dottie to build, which threatened his racing career. Dusty goes to Dottie, who discovers that his gearbox was damaged from pushing it too far. Suddenly, mid-flight, Dusty's prop stall and starts falling uncontrollably out of the sky before restarting his engine, forcing the pair to make an emergency landing. Later, after Dusty wins the Red Bulldozer race and returns to Propwash Junction for the annual Corn Festival, Skipper takes his protege out for a practice flight. After Dusty passed qualifying, however, Skipper then realized he had been a little harsh and agreed to help Dusty and his friends.Īs Dusty becomes a world-renowned racer, Skipper attends one of his races with his friends, and later watched Dusty's interview with Brent Mustangburger, in which Dusty gives credit to his supportive friends. Skipper appears to be a little judgmental in Planes, as he hesitated to teach Dusty how to fly well at first. Sparky pointed out Skipper as Mater's mentor to Mia and Tia, impressing them. Later, he and Sparky attend the air show, in which Mater was recruited as a Falcon Hawk. Skipper learns that he can really teach anyone how to fly, guaranteed. He runs Skipper's Flight School with his assistant Sparky, and he teaches Mater how to fly in Air Mater. Skipper is a grey plane who lives in Propwash Junction, a whole town full of airplanes. But Skipper-who's never really come to terms with his past-finds that he has a few things to learn, too, and while coaching Dusty to fly faster and smarter, the teacher becomes the student. ![]() These days, Skipper keeps to himself, but his quiet existence is turned upside down when an ambitious and persistent Dusty solicits Skipper's aerial expertise-and gets a few life lessons in the process. Background Official Description A reclusive old Navy Corsair, Skipper was an ace flier and top instructor of the esteemed Jolly Wrenches squadron until a combat mission in which he was the only survivor of his squadron left him grounded for life.
