Jay Jay the Jet Plane is known to be a Christian series as well as its usual standard format. Since 2003, when David Michel quit his job with the show, he decided that the show would also have an alternate dubbing in which it teaches the same lesson, but for Christian culture. [1]
Certain Tommy Nelson VHS from "Focus on the Family", as well as certain DVDs, have this special edit. The storyline is unchanged, but some of the dialogue is altered to add mentions to God and the Bible; though the characters' mouths are not synced.
Below is a complete list of changes to every episode.

Words such as "Gosh", "golly" or "gee" are replaced with "Well" or "hey".
Jay Jay:(seeing the lightning bugs) Wow! They look just like shooting stars! Big Jake: They sure do. Quick, make a wish! Jay Jay: I wish we could both share good times like this forever. Big Jake: I think you're supposed to wish it secret, Jay Jay. Jay Jay: Oh. (giggles) Right, sorry. Big Jake: That's alright. Jay Jay: Did you make a wish too, Big Jake? Big Jake: Mmm-hmm. Jay Jay: Well, you don't have to tell me what it was. I already know.
Jay Jay:(seeing the lightning bugs) Wow! They look just like shooting stars! Big Jake: They sure do. They're beautiful. Jay Jay: I wish we could both share good times like this forever. Big Jake: Well, Jay Jay, we need to just be grateful for today. Jay Jay: Oh. (giggles) Right, sorry. Big Jake: That's alright. Jay Jay: Did you hope for this too, Big Jake? Big Jake: Mmm-hmm. Jay Jay: Well, you don't have to tell me what it was. I already know.
Narrator: Jay Jay really did know, too. Because, whenever you spend a lot of time with a person you care about, you get to know what's in their heart, without them ever having to tell you.
Narrator: Jay Jay realized that spending time with someone you care for, helps you know what's in their heart. Just like spending time with God helps us know His heart better, too.
Narrator: As much as Jay Jay loved the wild ride, he still missed just talking to his big, best buddy. But Big Jake didn't know that, he thought that they were having the time of their lives.
Narrator: Jay Jay loved the ride, but he still missed just talking to his big, best buddy. And that made him think, how much God must miss it too when Jay Jay didn't take time to talk with him.
Narrator: Later that day, as the sun set, Jay Jay's parts were so wet that he couldn't go to Lightning Bug Lake with his best pal, Big Jake.
Narrator: God was trying to teach Big Jake and Jay Jay that special times are best found by just being honest with each other.
Narrator: Big Jake still didn't understand that all Jay Jay wanted was to have his quiet time back with Big Jake.
Narrator: Tired and a bit discouraged, Jay Jay thought about their day as he quietly began to pray.
Narrator: Late that afternoon, they all arrived at the park. And as the sun began to set, they made a bright campfire to warm them through the cool night.
Narrator: Later that night, they all arrived at the park. After the sunset, they settled in and made a warm campfire to wait for God's miraculous sight.
Narrator: Later that night, when the sky was pitch black and full of stars...
Narrator: Later that night, one of God's bright shooting stars flew across the sky.
Narrator: Yes, there they were—shooting stars. And everybody got to see them. Everybody except...poor Tracy, who was so tired from trying to stay awake, that she had fallen asleep.
Narrator: Yes, there they were—shooting stars. And everybody got to see them. Everybody except...poor Tracy, who though she hadn't wanted to give up, had fallen asleep.
Narrator: The next night, Tracy decided to camp out again. Only this time right on the Tarrytown Airport runway.
Narrator: Tracy was not giving up. She decided to camp out again, but this time right on the runway.
Narrator: Tracy couldn't believe her bad luck. Once again, she had missed seeing her very first shooting star. The next day, Tracy had practically given up on ever seeing a shooting star. But then, she ran into her good friend Brenda Blue.
Narrator: Poor Tracy. She was trying so hard, but things happened that caused her to think of giving up. Then she learned when those times happen, to be patient and ask for God's help. And God's help came through her friend Brenda Blue.
Narrator: The next night, Tracy and Brenda waited on a very high point of Tippy Toppy Peak. They waited, and they waited some more, until suddenly...
Narrator: The next night, Tracy and Brenda waited on a very high point of Tippy Toppy Peak. And, as God often rewards us when we don't give up, Tracy got a great surprise.
Narrator: Sure enough, Tracy and Brenda saw the biggest, brightest shooting star ever.
Narrator: Sure enough, God sent the biggest, brightest shooting star ever.
Narrator: The shooting star was so big, Tracy could follow it as it streaked across the skies over Tarrytown.
Narrator: Tracy just had to keep learning more about this strange, curious wonder in God's creation.
Narrator: Tracy wasn't quite sure what it was, so she decided to return to town and report her incredible discovery.
Narrator: Tracy was amazed, and she was so thrilled she kept trying to see God's shooting star. She'd always remembered never to give up.
Narrator: The next morning, Tracy's discovery was the big news in all of Tarrytown.
Narrator: God even used the star to tell others about His creation.
Brenda: They've decided to display it at the Tarrytown Museum with a plaque that reads "Tracy's Shooting Star."
Brenda: They've decided to display it at the Tarrytown Museum and give credit to Tracy for finding it.
Old Oscar: Well, I...Well, I-I guess he might uh...well...I'm not sure. Well...but nature does have a way of taking care of its own.
Old Oscar: Well, I...Eh, I guess he might eh...uh...I'm not sure. But...but God has a plan for taking care of His creatures.
Narrator: So, Jay Jay flew up to Lightning Bug Lake. He arrived just in time to see all the lightning bugs start their nightly night show.
Narrator: As they flew to watch the lightning bug show, Jay Jay and Breezy wondered just what kind of plan God would have for Breezy.
Narrator: And Jay Jay was beginning to worry. Just what would Breezy do when the cold weather arrived? Jay Jay remembered Old Oscar's words. Thought Old Oscar: Well, nature does have a way of taking care of its own.
Narrator: Jay Jay was worried. What if God forgot to make a winter plan for Breezy? He thought of Old Oscar's words. Thought Old Oscar: Well, you know, God has always taken care of His own.
Narrator: One night, a strong wind kicked up and the temperature dropped. Jay Jay's concern for Breezy kept him up all night. And he was still awake at sunrise when a cold gust of wind blew in from the north, the very first cold air of the winter.
Narrator: As the wind kicked up and the temperature dropped, Jay Jay founded different to sleep and trust Breezy to God's care. So when morning came with still more cold wind, Jay Jay knew he couldn't give up. He just had to keep trying to do something himself.
Narrator: So, Oscar and Brenda were right. Nature did have a place for little Breezy and his butterfly friends to spend the winter, and this was it.
Narrator: So, Oscar was right. God did have a plan for Breezy and his friends to spend the winter, and God never gives up till His plan succeeds.
Narrator: Jay Jay was relieved that nature, in its infinite wisdom, had taken care of his little friend, Breezy. And he couldn't wait for the first day of spring, when he and his good pal would be together again in Tarrytown.
Narrator: Jay Jay was so relieved, God had taken care of little Breezy with a great plan for him and his friends. And this helped Jay Jay to trust God's plan for all His creation, and to never give up on Him.
Narrator: One of the little planes' favorite places is Smiling Meadow, a meadow that seems to smile when the wind blows its flowers just the right way.
Narrator: One of the little planes' favorite places was Smiling Meadow. God had made the flowers seem to smile when the wind blew them in a certain way.
Narrator: Tracy looked everywhere for the source of the wonderful singing, but she couldn't find it.
Narrator: Tracy was about to learn in all of God's creation, we find exciting surprises.
Narrator: Yes. As suddenly as it had begun, the mysterious singing had stopped. So, Tracy decided to head back home, and boy, did she have a tale to tell everyone.
Narrator: Yes. As suddenly as it had begun, the mysterious singing had stopped. So, Tracy raced back home to tell her friends of the surprise music that God had sent for her to hear.
Tracy: I hope we can find something. I don't want everybody to think I imagined all this.
Tracy: I hope we find that beautiful music again. God's creation is really awesome.
Tracy: Then they can't be the ones I heard. Besides, their humming—nice as it is—just doesn't sound the same as the singing I listened too.
Tracy: It is a beautiful day, and God did make your humming beautiful. But I don't think it's the same singing that I heard this morning.
Narrator: So once again, everybody continued looking for the source of the mysterious singing.
Narrator: So once again, everybody continued to search God's singing meadow to find His surprising music.
Tracy: So it wasn't you I heard this morning? Well, somebody was singing the same song as you! Where did you learn it?
Tracy: I really heard singing from somewhere! Come on, you guys, you know that we don't always understand God's mysteries right away!
Narrator: Yes. The music Tracy heard was caused by swarms of hummingbirds gathering nectar from the many pretty flowers right in this very spot.
Narrator: Sure enough, the music Tracy had heard was caused by one of God's best little surprises: a swarm of pretty little hummingbirds.
Narrator: So, from now on, the planes would call this place "Singing Meadow", after the pleasant sounds of the hummingbirds that they always hear there. And once again, Tracy and the other little planes had learned that nature is indeed full of surprises.
Narrator: Yes indeed, the many things God made in His wisdom and wonderful plan for our earth, are often full of His best surprises. And Tracy and her friends were going to keep enjoying Singing Meadow for a long, long time to come.
Narrator: So, Jay Jay flew there at top speed. He was anxious to show Captain Hightower how fast he could be.
Narrator: Learning from him would be great. And he was anxious to show Captain Hightower how fast he could be.
Narrator: And all the while, Captain Hightower took time to smell the air, feel the warm breeze, and show Jay Jay all his beautiful apple trees.
Narrator: Jay Jay wondered why they were going so slow. He knew Brenda said Captain Hightower could help, but how was he ever going to speed things up, going this slow?
Narrator: Yes, Tarrytown Airport now had its very own air traffic controller. By telling the planes what to do, he was able to juggle them in their flight patterns, just like apples.
Narrator: Yes, Tarrytown Airport now had its very own air traffic controller. And since Captain Hightower was willing to give them his time, flights were juggled very smoothly.
Narrator: So, that's how Capt. Hightower helped the planes get through their busy summer season.
Narrator: Well, God gives us all talents to help others, and that's how Captain Hightower used his.
Narrator: And Jay Jay learned that it isn't always how fast you do something, but how well you do something that makes all the difference in the world.
Narrator: And Jay Jay learned that receiving the gift of someone's kindness is just as big a blessing as God says it will be.
Narrator: He trained them so much, that they were still at it well into the night. You see, nobody had the heart to tell Revvin' Evan he was making them really tired. They knew how much it meant to him to be the best fire fighting team there could be.
Narrator: Evan trained them so much, they were still at it well into the night. Evan meant well, but he goofed in working his team too hard and not trusting them more. Working hard is good, but he needed to believe in them more and ask for God's help, too.
Narrator: Evan was feeling mighty good about all the work he and his friends had been doing. And as he breathed in the crisp night air, suddenly, he smelled something.
Narrator: Evan didn't know how tired he made his team. He knew he was ready to get some sleep, but as he headed for his hangar, suddenly, he smelled something.
Narrator: So, Revvin' raced off to call the fire station. He started the alarm and then he went to wake up his team.
Narrator: Revvin' raced to call the station, start the alarm, and wake his team. God was about to teach him a lesson.
Narrator: Try as he might, there was nothing he could do to wake up his tired team.
Narrator: But his team slept soundly, too exhausted to hear Evan's call.
Narrator: And luckily for everybody, it was only a small fire contained in a metal trash barrel.
Narrator: Tired, Revvin' Evan thanked God it was only a small fire contained in a metal trash bin.
Narrator: And so, poor Revvin' Evan went to sleep, thinking he had been a bad team leader after all. But then, something really wonderful happened the very next morning. Just before dawn, as Evan slept, another real fire alarm sounded. Poor Evan was so tired that he slept right through it, but his team of firefighters woke up, well-rested and ready for action.
Narrator: So, poor Revvin' Evan went to sleep, thinking he'd been a bad team leader after all. But Evan hadn't meant to goof up and God hadn't given up on Evan. Just before dawn, as Evan slept, another real fire alarm sounded. Though Evan was too tired to wake, God was about to show him that He was there to help him, by waking his well-rested team.
Narrator: So, that's the story of Fire Engine Evan, and how his friends help make him one of the best fire engines Tarrytown ever had.
Narrator: So, in the end, Revvin' Evan learned that if we're trying hard, even when we goof, God forgives and helps us start over again.
Narrator: It was a bright, sunny day, and Jay Jay was busy making his morning deliveries. He was flying past Tippy Toppy Peak, when all of a sudden, he looked down and saw something very surprising.
Narrator: It was a bright, sunny day, and Jay Jay was busy making his morning deliveries. He flew past Tippy Toppy Peak, thrilled with God's beautiful world below, then he saw something very surprising.
Narrator: So, once again, Jay Jay took to the skies, while Tuffy and Revvin' Evan rode along down below. They were going to find that treasure.
Narrator: So, once again, Jay Jay took to the skies, while Tuffy and Revvin' Evan searched below, to see what rare treasure God had for them to find.
Narrator: The directions on the treasure map led Jay Jay, Tuffy and Revvin' Evan deep into the mountains.
Narrator: While searching for hidden treasure, Jay Jay and his friends missed some of God's richest treasures all around them.
Narrator: Yes, it was true. But right at that moment, they heard a voice.
Narrator: But when God is with us, we're never really left alone.
Narrator: Yes, thanks to this grand adventure, Tuffy found her treasure after all. She learned that the rocks in the earth are one of the greatest natural treasures we have. And Tuffy would never, ever complain about rocks again.
Narrator: Tuffy and her friends saw that rocks are truly one of God's great treasures. They understood the time when God looked at His world after He created it and said, "It is very good."
Narrator: It's a big celebration that happens every year, and everybody always has a great time. Jay Jay and Snuffy were on their way to town to pick up some vegetables for the big meal.
Narrator: And though this celebration happens every year, this year something different was about to happen. They were going to learn to be very thankful for God's help and for each other.
Narrator: Jay Jay suddenly wondered, what were they giving thanks for on Thanksgiving Day? Jay Jay really didn't know. Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away at the North Pole, Big Jake was making a special delivery.
Narrator: Jay Jay knew it was good to say "thanks" when someone does something nice for you, and they all did. But he wondered what special thanks they should give God on this special day. Meanwhile, God was about to use Big Jake's trip to the North Pole to help answer their questions.
Narrator: Big Jake dashed headlong into the howling wind and snowstorm. Would he make it back in time?
Narrator: Big Jake saw if he was to make it back safely, he would have to work hard to keep going.
Brenda: Brenda Blue here, Big Jake. We read you loud and clear. What's going on? Big Jake: Well...I'm still caught in the storm, and it seems to be getting worse. I might have to land.
Brenda: Brenda Blue here, Big Jake. We're praying you get home soon. You okay? Big Jake: I'm grateful for your prayers, and I'd like to keep going, but...I might have to land.
Narrator: Big Jake followed Old Oscar's advice...and sure enough, he left the storm behind.
Narrator: Big Jake followed Oscar's advice. It seems God had answered the prayers of Big Jake's friends, and it helped him to keep going. And sure enough, he left the storm behind.
Big Jake: Thanks, Old Oscar...uh-oh. Well, I used up more fuel than I thought to get through the storm—I'm running out.
Big Jake: Thanks, Old Oscar. I'm nearly over Canada, but my fuel's low. I'd be grateful for any ideas of how I can keep going, or I'll miss Thanksgiving.
Narrator: So Big Jake landed safely after all, and now he could get enough fuel to bring him home.
Narrator: Through Savannah and Big Jake's other friends, God had kept him going, and he was so grateful.
Narrator: Later that evening, Big Jake was the center of attention as everyone got ready to eat the Thanksgiving dinner.
Narrator: Thanksgiving was very special this year, 'cause they all now knew just how grateful they were for each other.
Snuffy: First of all, we can give thanks that we're all together, safe and sound.
Snuffy: First of all, we can thank God that we're all together, safe and sound.
Brenda: Well, it's hard to say, Jay Jay, it's...all up to the weather. And nature. But, who knows? Some of them might've started changing color already.
Brenda: Well, it's hard to say, Jay Jay, it's...all up to the weather. And God's timing. Who knows? The leaves might've started changing colors already.
Narrator: He flew right over Tarrytown National Park, the place in Tarrytown that had the most trees.
Narrator: He flew right over Tarrytown National Park, impatient to see God's colorful fall changes.
Narrator: Meanwhile, Jay Jay had been searching for fall colors over Lightning Bug Lake.
Narrator: Snuffy had goofed in trying to fix God's creation, but Jay Jay didn't know.
Narrator: Snuffy quickly led Jay Jay to where he could see everything.
Narrator: Snuffy had tried to make God's beautiful fall colors by himself.
Brenda: Oh, Snuffy, what you did was very thoughtful, but the hills really are going to change color. Snuffy: They will? Brenda: Yes! You don't have to help them, they'll...do it on their own. And when they do, it'll look beautiful, just like this painting.
Brenda: Oh, Snuffy, I know you meant well, but God is in charge, and the hills really are going to change color. Snuffy: They will? Brenda: Yes! It's in God's plan, and He'll do it at just the right time. It'll look beautiful, just like this painting.
Narrator: So, Snuffy and Jay Jay took off to go and clean off the paint. Snuffy dropped water over the trees that had been painted, then he and Jay Jay swooped over the trees to blow them dry. They swooped so low, that the branches tickled their tummies. And soon, the trees were as good as new. Then, Jay Jay and Snuffy flew home to begin waiting for the real colors of fall. And sure enough, one morning days later, all the little planes woke up to a big surprise.
Narrator: Snuffy was sorry he had goofed and painted the trees himself, instead of waiting for God's timing for fall to come. But as they swooped over low branches that tickled their tummies, Snuffy giggled, so grateful for forgiveness. And soon, the trees were as good as new. Then, Jay Jay and Snuffy flew home to begin waiting for the real colors of fall. And sure enough, days later, the little planes woke up to see God's great fall season.
Narrator: Yes, the hills had finally changed colors all on their own. So, that's how little Snuffy first learned about the magic of fall, and that nature is full of colorful surprises.
Narrator: Yes, the hills had finally changed to glorious colors. And Snuffy knew for sure: though he messed up in painting the hills himself, he was forgiven. And from now on, he would trust God's plan.
Narrator: Now, it wasn't as if the airport needed much cleaning, so everybody was surprised when Tracy drew up a long, long list of things that needed to be done. It was so long, that even Tracy had a hard time keeping everything straight in her head.
Narrator: Now, the airport didn't need much cleaning, so everyone was surprised at Tracy's long list of chores. Tracy was trying so hard to make Brenda's Mother's Day perfect, she forgot that the important thing was their friendship.
Tracy: Now it's an even bigger mess—and I didn't think that was possible!
Tracy: Now it's an even bigger mess—oh, I've goofed up Brenda's Mother's Day now!
Narrator: Oh, yes. Snuffy thought he was going to drop clean water on the airport, but instead, he accidentally dropped...
Narrator: Once again, as happens to all of us when we get distracted, Tracy had goofed in sending Snuffy up to spray...
Snuffy: Yeah, I bet we spoiled your whole visit.
Snuffy: Yeah, I think we spoiled your whole visit.
Narrator: So, after they cleaned up the airport once more, they all flew to Tarrytown National Park, where they joined Brenda and her mother on a wonderful Mother's Day picnic.
Narrator: Tracy and her friends have learned an important lesson. That even when we goof in trying to earn our friends' love, God says the important thing is remaining faithful friends.
Narrator: Feeling a little sad, Snuffy headed back to Tarrytown airport to join his friends. Back at Tarrytown Airport, Brenda Blue was busy taking pictures of Tracy for Picture Day.
Narrator: Feeling a little sad, Snuffy headed back to join his friends. He didn't understand that he had been made very special, just as all the planes at Tarrytown Airport were special.
Narrator: So, they returned Snuffy's propeller back to normal. But Snuffy still wasn't happy.
Narrator: No matter what Snuffy changed, he couldn't be any better than he already was.
Old Oscar: Well, by golly, gosh, I've heard enough!
Old Oscar: Well, spin my prop, I've heard enough!
Narrator: So that's how Snuffy realized that his propeller helped make him one of a kind. Snuffy learned that sometimes the things that make us different, also make us special. And even make us picture-perfect.
Narrator: So that's how Snuffy realized that just as the Bible says, God makes each of us wonderfully different, and, wonderfully special. And God even makes us picture-perfect.
Narrator: Yes, there it was, once again. Snuffy's white line leading Tracy and Herky right back to the hiding place.
Narrator: Yes, there it was, once again. The white line, and now Snuffy wished he were someone else without smokey trails.
Big Jake: Let me remind you that skywriting is a wonderful talent. You mustn't ever think of it as being bad.
Big Jake: Let me remind you that God has a special plan for us, Snuffy. Yours is to be a good sky writer.
Narrator: When something goes wrong at the airport, everybody turns to Brenda Blue to help them fix it. So that's exactly who Jay Jay went to see.
Narrator: While flying to visit Brenda Blue, Jay Jay tried to think of a way to help Snuffy understand that the talent God had given him was a good thing.
Narrator: So you see, everybody was just pretending to forget Big Jake's birthday, so they could really surprise him later that night. And what a surprise party it would be.
Narrator: So you see, everybody was secretly planning a big birthday surprise for Big Jake. Sometimes we just don't know the good things God has in store for us.
Narrator: Jay Jay left Brenda Blue's workshop excited, because he was going to find his own idea for a birthday present.
Narrator: Since God is the greatest giver of all, He had a perfect present for Jay Jay to share with Big Jake right out of His own beautiful sky.
Narrator: So, Jay Jay followed his new lightning bug friends all over the sky. He was having so much fun, that he lost track of time, and it was starting to get late.
Narrator: So, Jay Jay followed his new bug friends all over the sky. He was amazed that God had made such bright and wonderful creatures for him to enjoy.
Narrator: And he knew that this was a good idea. After all, it had come out of the clear blue sky, just as Brenda said it would.
Narrator: And he knew this was a good idea. After all, it had come out of God's beautiful blue sky, just as Brenda said it would.
Narrator: Well, Big Jake was thrilled. What a great birthday surprise this was.
Narrator: Well, Big Jake was thrilled. What a great birthday surprise he'd been given.
Narrator: So, that's the story of Big Jake's birthday surprise, and how Jay Jay the Jet Plane found the perfect present for his good friend.
Narrator: In the end, Jay Jay and all his friends learned that the most special gifts are those that come from God, the greatest giver of all.
Narrator: Where was Snuffy? His friends were worried. But don't you worry, Snuffy was safe and sound.
Narrator: Where was Snuffy? His friends were worried. They prayed for Snuffy's safe return, and that God would take away his fears.
Narrator: Now, the strange thing was, this whole story about Snuffy seemed kind of familiar to Old Oscar. He didn't say why, but when he flew off to find Snuffy, he had a pretty good idea of where he might be hiding.
Narrator: Now, Oscar knew just how it felt to be afraid to go to school, and he also knew that God could help Snuffy be brave. So, he headed out to find Snuffy.
Narrator: So, that was Snuffy's first day of school, and he found out that Old Oscar was right: learning was fun and exciting. Every day was filled with new friends, new ideas, and new fun things to do. And Snuffy knew he would never be afraid of school ever again.
Narrator: So, Snuffy's first day of school was great. He had learned an important lesson from Oscar. That whenever he was afraid of something, he should ask God to be with him. And he wouldn't have to face being afraid alone ever again.
Narrator: Because Jay Jay used the same fuel that made Savannah go fast, Jay Jay went super fast, too.
Narrator: Jay Jay was now sorry he used Savannah's fuel instead of being wise, like the Bible tells us to.
Narrator: Jay Jay was going so fast, he kept making super loud sonic booms, the same kind of loud booming noises Savannah makes.
Narrator: Jay Jay was learning that even when we think we have a good reason not to do what we're told, we better listen, like God wants us to.
Narrator: So, Savannah continued flying around in the sky with Jay Jay resting on her back. While Tracy and Herky returned to the airport to wait until Jay Jay's fuel ran out. That night, Savannah and Jay Jay were still flying around and around, waiting for Jay Jay's fuel to run out.
Narrator: Good thing for Jay Jay that since God loves us, when we're sorry for our mistakes, He sends us help. And while Tracy and Herky returned to the airport, Jay Jay thought about what he'd done. Jay Jay now knew he was wrong to break the rules in trying to be so fast, and he remembered the Bible says true power is in being wise.
Narrator: Taking things that you're not supposed to can be very dangerous. And as Jay Jay slept, everyone knew that he'd never make a mistake like that again.
Narrator: And as he fell asleep, he thanked God for helping him get home safe. He promised to follow the rules and to look to God to make him strong, healthy, and wise.
Narrator: Yes, Jay Jay was telling his good friend, Tuffy all about one of his favorite places: Pangabula Island.
Narrator: Jay Jay made it sound terrific, but it was a very long ways away. How would Tuffy get there?
Snuffy: Well... oh, gee... no. Now that think about it, there's a whole lot of water between Tarrytown and Pangabula.
Snuffy: Uh... oh no. No. Now that think about it, there's a whole lot of water between Tarrytown and Pangabula.
Revvin' Evan: Ah, hey little cousin, you should never give up on a dream. Like Old Oscar always says, "Where there's a will, there's a way."
Revvin' Evan: Ah, hey little cousin. You should never give up on a dream. Bible says having hope helps us to find God's way.
Narrator: So Snuffy raced back to the docks of Tarrytown. And he found just the right boat to help with Tuffy's new plan. It belonged to his good friends Captain Wentworth and her first mate, Mr. Crabbe, and both were very happy to help them. So he led them back to Tuffy. Soon, they found Tuffy safe and sound.
Narrator: So Snuffy raced back to the docks of Tarrytown. And he found just the right boat to help with Tuffy's new plan. It belonged to friends Captain Wentworth and Mr. Crabbe, who, after Snuffy explained Tuffy's dilemma, were happy to follow him back, to see how God could use them to help Tuffy.
Narrator: And soon, Tuffy had helped Snuffy and Captain Wentworth get out of that fog bank.
Narrator: And so God helped provide a way when there didn't seem to be a way.
Narrator: The weather couldn't have been more pleasant over the beautiful island of Pangabula. Jay Jay, Tracy and Big Jake were there looking for a special friend.
Narrator: The weather couldn't have been more pleasant over the beautiful island of Pangabula. Big Jake, Jay Jay, and Tracy were there to help a friend do a job.
Narrator: They were just about to leave, when suddenly...
Narrator: Then, grateful for her safe trip, Tuffy suddenly landed.
Lucky: Well, Tuffy, they sparkle because of all the good feelings we islanders have for them.
Lucky: Well, Tuffy, they sparkle because they are a part of God's wonderful creation.
Lucky: Not at all. The berries liked to be picked, and it gives the tree room to grow more of them.
Lucky: Not at all. When we pick the berries, it gives the tree room to grow more of them.
Narrator: Soon, the sparkleberries were picked, and everybody was on their way to deliver them. Everybody, that is, except Tuffy.
Narrator: Soon, everyone was delivering berries but Tuffy. You see, though she didn't know it yet, God had a lesson for Tuffy to learn.
Narrator: So off they went to make their deliveries. And soon, she was on her way.
Narrator: Tuffy loved this fun job. She knew God would be pleased by her kindness to others.
Narrator: Yes, it looked like Tuffy's delivery had come to an unexpected end.
Narrator: But Tuffy felt there must be a good reason for being there.
Narrator: So Tuffy went to visit the Sparkleberry Tree. And as she gazed at the tree's beauty, she did feel a little bit better.
Narrator: But even as she gazed at the Sparkleberry Tree, Tuffy prayed to God to help her find a way to help her friends.
Narrator: But up in the sky, something ominous was happening. Thick clouds were rolling toward the island from out over the ocean. A storm was coming.
Narrator: But as Tuffy looked up and saw thick clouds rolling in, she was about to learn that she was not useless. A huge storm was moving in very fast.
Narrator: Yes, Tuffy had found shelter, but as she looked out at the storm, she saw something that made her eyes grow wide.
Narrator: As Tuffy hid, she wondered if she'd been wrong to come to Pangabula. She needed God's help.
Narrator: Sometime later, the storm had passed. Everybody was safe and sound. And everything was peaceful again.
Narrator: God answered Tuffy's prayer by giving her the most important job. She had saved the Sparkleberry Tree.
Narrator: So that's how Tuffy the Tow Truck had her very first adventure on Pangabula Island. An adventure nobody would ever forget.
Narrator: So that's how God used Tuffy's adventure to help everyone see that when we ask Him, He's willing to show us His plan for us.
Narrator: So, the foursome made their way to the campsite.
Narrator: Snuffy wasn't sure, since he didn't yet know that God would always be with him.
Narrator: Later that night, all the planes were fast asleep. All of them, except for Snuffy.
Narrator: And so night came. And because it was so dark, Snuffy became a bit scared.
Narrator: And so, thanks to Tracy's arrow, Jay Jay headed off in the right direction at last.
Narrator: And so you see, God was there with Jay Jay. His stars were pointing the way back to camp.
Big Jake: Well, he's not here, this is very serious. You must never wander in the woods alone without an adult who knows his way.
Big Jake: Well, he's not here. It's very serious to wander into the woods alone. But I'm sure God will help us find Jay Jay, okay?
Narrator: So, that's how Snuffy learned not to be afraid of sounds of the night, sometimes the dark isn't so scary after all. In the end, Jay Jay found his way home, and Snuffy overcame his fear of the dark, and each of them learned that having good friends to count on can brighten up even the darkest of nights.
Narrator: So, that's how Jay Jay and his friends learned that we are never really lost to God. And that He's always with us, even when we're lost. His bright stars can help us feel warm and safe, even on the darkest of nights.
Narrator: Herky was starting to like all the attention he was getting, and nobody seemed to mind since he deserved it so much. But, when Herky kept telling the tale of his rescue over and over again, his friends started to get a little bored.
Narrator: Herky liked all the attention he was getting, and soon started bragging about how important he was. He kept telling of his rescue, forgetting the Bible says that we shouldn't think of ourselves as more important than others.
Narrator: So, Jay Jay and Tracy took off after their friend.
Narrator: So, Jay Jay and Tracy lovingly took off to help their friend.
Narrator: Now, just as he had done earlier that day, Herky flew right over the treetop.
Narrator: Now, thanks to Jay Jay and Tracy's kindness, Herky flew right over the treetop.
Narrator: Herky learned that while it's nice to be a hero, it's even nicer to be a part of a team of heroes. And with Jay Jay and Tracy at his side, he knew he was on the best team of them all.
Narrator: Herky learned that just like the Bible says, it's better to be humble about the good things you do. And that you should always thank your friends when they help you, so that together, you'll be a great team.
Big Jake: Oh, you shouldn't feel like you need to keep secrets from your friends, Jay Jay.
Big Jake: You shouldn't feel like that, Jay Jay. God wants us all to take care of our wonderful frames.
Big Jake: And I never miss a day, because it's okay to do the things you need to do to feel good.
Big Jake: And I never miss a day, because I know I have a very special frame that I need to take care of.
Narrator: And so, from that moment on, Jay Jay was never ashamed of doing his exercises again. He learned that everyone needs to do things to take care of themselves. And it was the best camping trip they ever had.
Narrator: And so, from that moment on, Jay Jay was never ashamed of doing his exercises again, he wanted to please God by taking care of his very special frame, and it was the best camping trip he ever had.
Narrator: It was a beautiful day in Tarrytown. The sun was shining, the bees were buzzing, the wind was crisp and cool. It was the kind of weather that airplanes liked to be out enjoying.
Narrator: It was a beautiful day in Tarrytown, with sun shining and bees buzzing. It was also a day when Old Oscar would learn that being special isn't based on what you do, but who you are.
Old Oscar: Winnie's gonna be here tomorrow—she wants to see my famous stunt, the Double-Over-Under-Upside-Down-Loop-de-Loop!
Old Oscar: Winnie's gonna be here tomorrow—she'll expect to see my famous stunt. If I can't do it, she won't come to see me anymore.
Narrator: And from this day on, it was a lesson he'd never, ever forget.
Narrator: We're all God's creations, and He makes us unique and gives us great friendships.
Narrator: You know, sleeping alone in the dark can sometimes make dreams seem so real. And that's what Jay Jay was feeling.
Narrator: You know, bad dreams can sometimes seem so real, and right now, Jay Jay needed a good friend nearby.
Big Jake: Well, okay, if you say so. But if you wanna tell me more about that little dream of yours, I'll be in my hangar.
Big Jake: Well, okay, Jay Jay. But you know, sometimes if something's wrong and you tell a good friend, they can help.
Narrator: Poor Jay Jay didn't want to admit to his friends or to Big Jake that his bad dream made him feel afraid.
Narrator: God helps us through our friends, if we let Him. But Jay Jay didn't want to admit that he was afraid.
Narrator: Poor Jay Jay. He wasn't able to wake Tracy up. So, like the good friend that he is, he gently pushed her into the hangar so that she'd sleep comfortably. Jay Jay finally decided to face bedtime all alone.
Narrator: Poor Jay Jay. He wasn't able to wake Tracy up. So, like a good friend, he gently pushed her into the hangar. Jay Jay wished he told his friends about the dream. Now he'd have to face bedtime all alone again.
Big Jake: Well, you bet. And whenever you feel that way, it's okay to tell me or any other grownup that cares about you, Jay Jay.
Big Jake: We all do, Jay Jay. But just remember that God can always help us feel better, and sometimes He uses our good friends.
Narrator: After all, Evan would never get to fly. Now, he really didn't care if he could fly or not. Evan was just happy being Evan, but Herky didn't know that. So, he decided to find a way to give Evan a chance to fly. And to do that, he'd need the help of...
Narrator: He was sure after all, that everyone should be able to fly. Now, Evan hadn't thought that he needed to fly, but now he wasn't so sure. Maybe he did. Herky and Evan didn't understand that God gives each of us different things we're good at.
Narrator: That's the thing about Herky. He's always up to something fun. But this time he learned that people have fun in many different ways.
Narrator: And that's the story of how Herky and Evan realized that even though they can't do the same things, they each have their own special talents. Just like we are created specially by God.
Narrator: Jay Jay was in a big hurry to see something special that was about to happen at Brenda Blue's workshop.
Narrator: Jay Jay was in a big hurry. Brenda Blue was helping him put together a very special surprise.
Narrator: So, Jay Jay told Snuffy what he wanted him to do. And while Snuffy went off to do it, Jay Jay visited everybody else, to see how their part in the Winter Parade was coming along.
Narrator: As Jay Jay gave Snuffy his assignments, he wanted his gift to be perfect, to show how everyone meant to him. But they kept so busy, he had no time to enjoy them.
Narrator: With his snowstorm all checked out, it was time to see how Snuffy was doing with his part of the parade.
Narrator: Jay Jay was so rushed, he forgot: God says our best gift to our friends is ourselves.
Narrator: Jay Jay was unhappy that he couldn't give his gift to his friends to show them how much he loved them.
Narrator: Jay Jay's parade was supposed to show everyone how much he cared.
Narrator: It was sometime later that night, when Jay Jay was awakened from his sleep.
Narrator: God's sparkling snow was perfect for Jay Jay's friends to use to help cheer him up.
Brenda: See, Jay Jay? Your parade can happen, after all. But, it's not a light parade anymore, it's an ice parade!
Brenda: See, Jay Jay? Your parade can happen, after all. The beautiful ice God sent us is making an even better parade!
Narrator: To his surprise, each and every one of them showed Jay Jay doing things with one of his friends. Like spending time with Snuffy, or camping with Big Jake, or counting crates for Brenda. Yes, the whole Ice Parade was a tribute to their favorite little jet plane, Jay Jay.
Narrator: To Jay Jay's amazement, in each of their beautiful ice sculptures, there he was, doing all sorts of things with his friends. Just as God shows evidence of His love for us in His creation, Jay Jay's friends used their ice sculpture creations to show their love for Jay Jay. And they included all the things they'd enjoyed doing with him.
Brenda: That's just the point, Jay Jay. Each one of them is a reminder that you don't have to give us one big gift at the end of the year, because all year long you give a little bit of yourself each and every day.
Brenda: That's right, Jay Jay. You see, Tracy remembered how God gave us the gift of our beautiful world. And she thought maybe we could show how special you are through our ice creations.
Narrator: So that's how Jay Jay realized that giving is something you do all year long, to show friends how much you love them. Something Jay Jay had always done, every day of the year.
Narrator: So that's how God taught Jay Jay that being a good friend means loving and helping one another every day. That's an important part of God's plan for us.
Narrator: The flowers were swaying happily in the wind, and when they did, it looked like Smiling Meadow seemed to be, well, smiling.
Narrator: The flowers were swaying happily in the wind, and God had made these flowers so beautiful, they almost seemed to smile.
Narrator: The little chopper zoomed around and around and around the hangar, trying with all his might to be super speedy.
Narrator: Poor Herky didn't yet understand that God made each of us special, and trying to be like someone else can get us into trouble.
Narrator: So, Savannah took off into the sky, heading for Tarrytown to return a book to the library. And Jay Jay and Tracy were right behind her.
Narrator: So, Savannah took off into the sky, heading for Tarrytown. Jay Jay and Tracy followed, wondering why she wasn't happy just being herself.
Narrator: But Savannah's powerful jets blew up so much dust that she couldn't see the flowers.
Narrator: But Savannah found that though God gives each of us special talents, hovering wasn't one of hers.
Narrator: So, Savnanah and Herky ended their Switch Around Day, glad to be themselves again. They learned that just being themselves isn't good enough, it's the best.
Narrator: So, Savannah and Herky learned to be proud of themselves, just the way they were, because the Bible says it pleases God when we're happy with the way He made us, and with our own special gifts and talents.
Narrator: Jay Jay didn't know what to do. There had to be some way he could cheer Snuffy up. Jay Jay wondered if maybe Brenda Blue might have an answer. So, he took Snuffy to see her.
Narrator: Jay Jay didn't know what to do. It seemed like Snuffy thought Big Jake wasn't coming back. He decided to take Snuffy to see Brenda Blue, since she always had good advice.
Narrator: Now Snuffy was very excited. Old Oscar had come up with a really, really good idea.
Narrator: Now Snuffy was very excited. He could talk to Big Jake, even though he was far away.
Big Jake: I'm glad, Snuffy. I missed you, too. But I know that when I'm gone, you have plenty of friends here to make good until I come home.
Big Jake: I'm glad, Snuffy. And even though I wasn't here, I still thought about you and I—and I knew your friends would make you feel good until I came home.
Narrator: And that there are lots of ways to keep the people you miss close to your heart.
Narrator: And just like it says in the Bible, a true friend loves you all the time, whether you're together or not.
Old Oscar: Oh! Uh... did, did I say it was a pirate map? Oh, you know, I have, I have so many old maps, it's possible that I, uh, uh- gave you the wrong one.
Old Oscar: Well...now that I think about it, I believe that one shows the way to one of God's wonderful treasures.
Narrator: So, Tracy learned a wonderful lesson. She learned that wherever there are friends, there is treasure to be found.
Narrator: So, Tracy had learned something very special, that wherever your friends are is where real treasure can be found.
Narrator: Tracy and Snuffy raced off to get their new wheels. But not everyone was as excited as they were.
Narrator: Tracy and Snuffy knew that the Bible says our bodies are important, and we should take care of them. But Jay Jay wasn't so sure.
Narrator: Brenda Blue put shiny new wheels on Tracy and Snuffy. Wheels have to be replaced every now and then to make sure that little airplanes take off and land safely.
Narrator: It's important that we take good care of ourselves, so can be ready to do what God wants us to. And for little planes, one important thing is to get new wheels.
Narrator: The truth was, he was upset because for the first time ever, he wasn't as good as Tracy and Snuffy at playing Follow the Leader.
Narrator: The truth was, he started to worry that he waited too long to get new wheels, and now couldn't play Follow the Leader as well as Tracy and Snuffy.
Narrator: Luckily for him, who should show up, but Brenda Blue.
Narrator: Fortunately for him, who should show up just then, but Brenda Blue.
Brenda: Come back to my workshop. I have a hunch I know why. Then, within any luck, we can fix things quickly, and get you right back into the game. Come on!
Brenda: Come back to my workshop. I have a hunch I know why. Then, within a jiff, we can fix things quickly, and get you right back into the game. Come on!
Narrator: So, that's how Jay Jay got his new wheels, and how he learned that even though you may like something old and familiar, it's always good to try something new.
Narrator: So, that's how Jay Jay got his new wheels, and how we learn that if we keep ourselves in good shape, we can do all the wonderful things that God has planned for us.
Narrator: She was wondering how long it would be before she was all grown up and she was eager to practice. So, Tracy decided to ask Brenda Blue to give her a grown up kind of job to do.
Narrator: She remembered that the Bible promises there's a very special plan for us as we grow up. Tracy decided to ask Brenda Blue what kind of good growing up type of job she could do.
Narrator: So, Tracy caught up with Jay Jay and Herky to ask their advice on what to do with Snuffy.
Narrator: Tracy should've prayed to God for help, but instead she caught up with Jay Jay and Herky.
Narrator: Later, after everybody had left to go to the air carnival, and while Brenda was busy working in her shop, Tracy and Snuffy began their long afternoon together.
Narrator: Later, after everyone had left for the carnival, Tracy remembered God's promise that His plan for us is a good one. And she started her afternoon with Snuffy.
Narrator: Just then, he heard Tracy's voice coming from inside the hangar.
Narrator: Just then, he heard Tracy's happy voice coming from inside the hangar.
Narrator: So, that's how Tracy did a grown up kind of job and made a little kid plane very happy.
Narrator: So, Tracy had fun doing her grown up job and learned that God's great plan for us is truly a happy one.
Big Jake: Yeah, I suggested it to Brenda, and she agrees. So, after a few more training flights, you're going to be on your own.
Big Jake: Yeah, I suggested it to Brenda, and she agrees. You've been such a good listener, that you've learned enough to make your own deliveries.
Narrator: Jay Jay was so excited. He worked very hard to learn the new route.
Narrator: Jay Jay knew the Bible says that listening and understanding help you to do good things.
Narrator: So, he continued to train really hard with Big Jake. But each afternoon, after his training flight, Jay Jay visited Brenda Blue to look at the caterpillar.
Narrator: He planned to keep listening carefully, and become a good delivery plane. And each afternoon, Jay Jay went to see the caterpillar, and tried to understand how God would help it fly.
Narrator: The warm air felt so good, that without realizing it, Jay Jay soon closed his eyes and fell fast asleep.
Narrator: Soon, he forgot about the delivery he had to make...and he closed his eyes and fell fast asleep.
Narrator: So, he just had to watch helplessly as Captain Wentworth's ship sailed off. He knew he made a big mistake.
Narrator: He should've stuck to his route and gone straight to the ship. Now it was gone, and Jay Jay would have to tell Big Jake of his mistake.
Big Jake: Uh, you know...the caterpillar isn't hiding inside his cocoon, he's...he's in there changing. He's...he's growing up. Jay Jay: What do I have to do to grow up, Big Jake? Big Jake: Well, you're already doing it, Jay Jay. Every day, you're changing and learning new things. That's what growing up is all about.
Big Jake: Well, Jay Jay, I think you and the caterpillar are going through important changes that will help you both grow up. Jay Jay: What do I have to do to grow up, Big Jake? Big Jake: Well, you're already doing it. Every day, God is helping you learn new things, sometimes even through your mistakes.
Narrator: The next day, Jay Jay handled the Sandy Landing route perfectly. And just as Captain Wentworth predicted, she and Jay Jay became the best of friends. But that wasn't the only good thing that happened.
Narrator: And Jay Jay did learn. He handled the next day's delivery perfectly. And just as Captain Wentworth predicted, she and Jay Jay became friends. But that wasn't the only good thing. You see, God forgives us when we make mistakes and helps us do better.
Narrator: But an even bigger surprise came when he went to visit his friend the caterpillar inside the cocoon. When he got there, the cocoon was open, and out of it had come a butterfly.
Narrator: Now, Jay Jay could hardly wait to go see how God would help his friend the caterpillar, too. And what do you know? God had turned him into a beautiful butterfly.
Narrator: Nature is full of surprises, and nobody enjoyed surprises more than little Snuffy. That's why he liked to fly to Tarrytown National Park. He loved to be surprised by the beauty of nature, the sights, the sounds, and of course...the lovely smells. But one day, he suddenly came upon the most astonishing surprise of them all. It was a sight so incredible, so amazing, so unthinkable, that even he couldn't believe what he was seeing. What was it, you ask?
Narrator: God's world is full of such beauty, and nobody enjoys it more than little Snuffy. That's why he liked to fly to Tarrytown National Park. He loved to be surprised by the beauty of nature, the sights, the sounds, and of course...the lovely smells. But one day, he came upon the most astonishing surprise of them all. It was so incredible and amazing, Snuffy thought it would've been impossible for God to create such a thing. What was it, you ask?
Narrator: Well, this was very confusing. Snuffy stuck by his story that he had seen an upside down waterfall.
Narrator: You see, the young planes needed to learn that if God wants to, He can make even water fall up.
Narrator: So, Jay Jay soon found himself flying over Tarrytown National Park once again.
Narrator: So once again, God was at work. He was about to help Jay Jay learn much more about His creation.
Narrator: Never again would Jay Jay doubt a discovery is something new, just because he'd never seen or heard of it before, because the world is full of surprises, and if we close our minds, we'll miss out on all the fun.
Narrator: Never again would Jay Jay doubt that God has created amazing things, even things we think are impossible, because the world is full of His incredible creations, geysers being one of the best.
Narrator: It had been a busy day for little Snuffy, and as the warm sun set over Tarrytown, he hurried to get home.
Snuffy: Oh, my! Am I late! Oh, now it's starting to get dark, and I really don't like the dark! Narrator: Snuffy was so anxious to get home, that at first he didn't notice anything unusual. But soon, he saw that there was something keeping him company on his trip home. And this something was following right behind him.
Narrator: It had been a busy day for Snuffy, and as God's warm sun set over Tarrytown, he hurried to get home.
Snuffy: Oh, my! Am I late! Oh, now it's starting to get dark, and I really don't like the dark! Narrator: God knew we'd like something light at night, so He hung a beautiful moon to shine down on us. Snuffy sensed that this mysterious something was keeping him company on his trip home, and it was following right behind him.
Narrator: And after seeing the moon from several places at the airport, Snuffy, Jay Jay and Tracy ended up at Brenda Blue's workshop.
Narrator: And after seeing the moon from several places at the airport, Snuffy didn't realize God made the moon to be a help to us.
Narrator: That night, Snuffy had tried hard to get to sleep, but he kept worrying about how he'd missed the moon's bright light. He finally fell asleep, until...
Narrator: That night, Snuffy had tried hard to get to sleep, but he worried so much about missing the moon's bright light, that when he fell asleep, he began dreaming.
Narrator: It wasn't Jay Jay or Tracy. So Snuffy decided to look around outside. Then Snuffy realized the voice he heard was coming from the sky above, so he took off to find it.
Narrator: Jay Jay and Tracy were both fast asleep, and Snuffy's dream seemed so real, he decided to look around. Then Snuffy realized the voice was coming from up in the air, so he took off to find it.
Narrator: Finally, Snuffy realized that the sound he was hearing was coming from the moon.
Narrator: In his dream, Snuffy realized that the sound he was hearing was coming from the moon.
Narrator: Sure enough, Snuffy had drawn a big S.O.S. in the sky. S.O.S. is the signal that means someone needs help.
Narrator: Sure enough, Snuffy had skydrawn the signal for help. He drew it to help his good friend Revvin' Evan.
Narrator: Revvin' Evan sure was happy to see his friends coming to his rescue.
Narrator: Evan was sure happy that he had such good friends who'd cared about him.
Narrator: But Jay Jay knew that things could get very dark and cold in Crystal Cave. If that man was going to be rescued, it had to happen right away.
Narrator: Jay Jay knew that Crystal Cave could get awfully cold and dark, but he also knew that God wants us to help and care for each other.
Narrator: In the end, Jay Jay didn't need to be a hero or have a special ability. Jay Jay's special thing was being kind and caring. In other words, just being Jay Jay.
Narrator: In the end, Jay Jay learned that we don't have to be heroes...or perform big rescues to be special. We just need to be caring, just as God has made us.
Narrator: Now the fact is, to Jay Jay and Herky, it didn't matter what color Tracy was. They thought she was fun to be with, no matter what. But Tracy didn't realize that.
Narrator: Tracy wanted to look different, because she thought Jay Jay and Herky would like her better. She didn't understand that God makes each of us just right. And our friends will like us, just the way we are.
Narrator: So, Tracy tried to be alone in the sky. The problem was, the sky was pretty busy that day.
Narrator: Tracy now knew that you reap what you sow, meaning that when you do something wrong, you must face up to it.
Brenda: Hey, why don't you guys go wish Big Jake good luck?
Brenda: Hey, why don't you guys see Big Jake off?
Oscar: Don't mention it. And, good luck!
Oscar: Don't mention it. And, goodbye!
Narrator: Well, Big Jake had a lot to think about. He wanted to take Old Oscar's advice, but he was concerned about creating an airshow in so little time.
Narrator: Big Jake had a lot to think about. He knew the Bible says we should always try our best, but he was concerned about creating an airshow in so little time.
Big Jake: Well, when the Wonderbirds couldn't perform today, I was ready to throw in the towel, but you kids taught me to never give up. And you reminded me that when something's important, there's always a way to get it done.
Big Jake: Well, when the Wonderbirds couldn't perform today, I kinda forgot what the Bible says: that when we work together, we can do the good things that God has prepared for us to do. Thanks for a great show.
Narrator: What was a clown doing at Tarrytown Airport? He was visiting his good friend Old Oscar, that's what.
Narrator: Jay Jay didn't know it yet, but God was about to use a clown game to help teach him an important lesson.
Narrator: Well, even though Jay Jay promised he wouldn't make any faces right away, he was so anxious to win the game, that he soon forgot that very promise.
Narrator: Brenda Blue had given Jay Jay some very wise advice, but Jay Jay was so anxious to win the game, that he decided not to listen to her words.
Narrator: Yes, it was just what Brenda Blue had warned him about. He made a funny face while his polish was still wet, and now, suddenly, the polish had dried, his face was stuck, and boy, was it funny looking.
Narrator: Now, Jay Jay wished he done as the Bible says and listened to wise advice. He shouldn't have made funny faces, because the polish had dried and his face was stuck. And suddenly, it wasn't funny anymore.
Narrator: And that's exactly what they did. They proudly showed Jay Jay's game-winning face to Old Oscar.
Narrator: So, to help forget the hurt, Jay Jay went to show Old Oscar his game-winning face.
Narrator: They showed it to Savannah, the supersonic jet.
Narrator: Laughing was so fun that they had to show Savannah, too.
Narrator: In the end, Brenda was able to return Jay Jay's face to normal. But no one would ever forget his funny face.
Narrator: In the end, Jay Jay was very happy to get his face back to normal. And he learned the value of listening to a friend's good advice.
Narrator: Well, the first surprise was that the rain didn't last too long. Soon, Snuffy went outside to see if there was a chance he could still draw his sky picture. But then, he looked up into the sky, and that's when he saw it.
Narrator: Well, sometimes God does use rainy days to give us wonderful surprises. Like today, when the rain stopped, Snuffy went outside to draw his sky picture. And that's when he saw it.
Big Jake: Well, Snuffy, that's called a rainbow. They usually come out after it rains.
Big Jake: Why, Snuffy, that's a rainbow. God put it there to remind us of His love.
Narrator: And this kept happening over and over. Snuffy: Oh, where'd you go, now?! Narrator: Snuffy was getting very frustrated.
Narrator: Snuffy didn't know he didn't have to catch it— Snuffy: Oh, where'd you go, now?! Narrator: —to feel the love God was giving him through its beauty.
Narrator: So, Snuffy flew to Sandy Landing, and sure enough, the rainbow was in the sky above.
Narrator: So, Snuffy flew to Sandy Landing, and sure enough, God had put a rainbow there too.
Narrator: As he thought about Old Oscar's words, and watched the raindrops fall, he found himself getting sleepy. After all, it was his naptime. Soon, he fell fast asleep and had the most wonderful dream.
Narrator: When Snuffy fell asleep, God showed him something in a dream—a very special truth about rainbows.
Narrator: So, in the end, Snuffy finally learned the secret of rainbows—that they are meant to be seen from far away, so you can clearly see their bright, colorful beauty.
Narrator: And so, Snuffy found the secret of how to help all those in Tarrytown be reminded of God's great love for them—beautiful rainbows.
Big Jake: Well, Jay Jay, the Buddy System means that you and Tracy have to look out for each other. You have to stay together at all times, that way if anything goes wrong, you won't be stuck on your own.
Big Jake: The Buddy System means you need to stay together, look out for each other. Kind of like God sticks with us all the time. And since He's always with us, we'll never really get stuck out on our own.
Narrator: Tracy and Jay Jay each wanted to do something different. Now what would they do? They thought about it for a while, and they finally came up with an idea.
Narrator: Tracy and Jay Jay knew they were supposed to stick together, but they decided not to follow what Big Jake had told them to do and didn't follow the rules.
Narrator: But some time later...
Narrator: And soon, their troubles began.
Narrator: Meanwhile, Jay Jay was searching desperately for Tracy.
Narrator: Jay Jay was seeing what happens when you don't follow the rules.
Narrator: But as luck would have it...
Narrator: But thankfully, God was there to help.
Narrator: Well, sure enough, Big John was able to help them. Now, Jay Jay and Tracy knew they were going to get some fuel and get back in the air again very soon.
Narrator: Sure enough, Big John was able to help. Jay Jay and Tracy were sorry they hadn't stayed together like good buddies are supposed to, but were happy that God had still helped them.
Narrator: Jay Jay had discovered that when it comes to trying new things or going to new places, there's nothing better than having a buddy along to make everything safer, happier, and more fun.
Narrator: Jay Jay had learned two very important lessons: first, that when we don't follow the rules, we can get into trouble; and second, that it's really a good thing that God forgives us and stays our buddy forever.
Narrator: Clouds come in all shapes and sizes. Jay Jay, Tracy and Snuffy were looking at them one fine summer day at Tarrytown Airport.
Narrator: God makes clouds in all shapes and sizes, and Jay Jay, Tracy and Snuffy were admiring His work one fine day at Tarrytown Airport.
Narrator: Now, Jay Jay was enjoying this beautiful summer day so much... (Jay Jay inhales and closes his eyes for a minute) ...that for a short while, he closed his eyes and felt the wind blow across his face, with its nice smell and gentle warmth.
Narrator: Now, Jay Jay was enjoying this beautiful summer day so much.... (Jay Jay inhales and closes his eyes for a minute) ...that as he felt the nice, gentle wind blow across his face, he closed his eyes and began to sleep, and to dream.
Narrator: But Jay Jay knew that he had seen a giant S.O.S. in the clouds. And he had to find out why.
Narrator: But in his dream, Jay Jay had seen an S.O.S. in the clouds, and he had to find out why.
Narrator: Jay Jay was very happy that he'd met the Cloud King, and he loved the beautiful present he'd been given. And with the help of his new friend Puffy, he rediscovered that there really is no place like home.
Narrator: Jay Jay loved seeing pretty shapes in God's clouds, and felt sure that clouds were one of His greatest creations. He had a fun day with his good friends, and rediscovered that there truly is no place like home.
Narrator: To you and me, it might have seemed like an ordinary day in Tarrytown, but for Herky the helicopter, it was a very special day, and it all started with the arrival of the mail.
Narrator: To you and me, it might have seemed like an ordinary day in Tarrytown, but for Herky the helicopter, it was a day to learn a very special lesson. It all started with the arrival of the mail.
Narrator: When Herky left Tarrytown Airport, he was in search of adventure, he was determined to do a good deed, but he wanted to make it the biggest good deed he could find.
Narrator: So, Herky left Tarrytown, determined to find the biggest good deed ever. He didn't yet know that even when we do something very small to help someone, it pleases God very much.
Narrator: And so, Herky hovered off in search of another way to earn his merit badge. Luckily for him, he didn't have to wait very long.
Narrator: Herky now wanted the badge so much that he'd forgotten something: we should help others because it's the right thing to do, and part of God's plan.
Narrator: Later, Herky sadly arrived home. But when he got there, he was greeted with a big surprise.
Narrator: Later, Herky sadly arrived home. He didn't realize God had helped him find a great little good deed: helping Revvin' Evan.

Narrator: So, that's how Herky earned his Merit Badge and learned something very special. That helping others pleases God, which is the biggest and best deed ever.
Big Jake: Well, maybe we could teach Snuffy some fun games to play while we're flying. Oh, that should keep him happy for a while.
Big Jake: Well, Jay Jay, God gave us this special day, and He wants us to to be happy. So, maybe a fun game will help.
Narrator: Now, it was night, and Snuffy was really, really getting bored. Even Big Jake had run out of ideas for games that Snuffy might play. And all the while, Snuffy kept asking the same question over and over.
Narrator: Now, it was nighttime, and Snuffy was really getting bored. He needed to pray and be more thankful for the wonderful trip with his friends. But instead, Snuffy kept asking the same question over and over.
Narrator: So, Snuffy flew off happily, knowing that with the help of good friends, there are many fun ways to keep from being bored on long trips. And he was excited about having even more fun, now that they were finally there at Pangabula Island.
Narrator: So, Snuffy learned that instead of being bored and complaining, we can rejoice and sing happy songs, then God will help us feel good and have a wonderful day. And Snuffy was now ready to let God help him have another wonderful day, at beautiful Pangabula Island.
Narrator: Jay Jay and Tracy began searching for clues for why the Sparkleberry Tree was sick.
Narrator: The young planes searched for clues. They knew that God wanted them to care for His creation.
Narrator: Since Jay Jay had tried his best to figure out why the Sparkleberry Tree was sick, he decided to just keep it company until Tracy and Snuffy returned.
Narrator: Jay Jay thought and thought about how he could help. He decided to pray that God would bring back the tree's sparkle.
Narrator: Snuffy was looking in the water at Pangabula Stream, he remembered that Brenda had said water was important to plants.
Narrator: Snuffy remembered that trees need water to be healthy, and he soon learned how God wanted him to help the Sparkleberry Tree.
Narrator: Indeed, the Sparkleberry Tree was glittering and glowing.
Narrator: Yes, the Sparkleberry Tree was beautiful once again.
Tracy: Hey Snuff, if you listen carefully, you can hear the Sparkleberry Tree saying "thank you". Snuffy: You're welcome.
Narrator: The Bible tells us that we need to take care of God's creation, so that we can know the beauty He made, like the beauty of the Sparkleberry Tree.
Narrator: Then his whole body starts to wobble and bobble. Then he really gets out of control. And finally he lands, feeling kind of oozy and woozy.
Narrator: Then his whole body starts to wobble and bobble, and he loses all control of his appetite. And the Bible says that losing control is not a good thing for us.
Narrator: So, Herky ate some more donuts. In fact, he ate the whole box.
Narrator: The Bible says we shouldn't lose control, but Herky just couldn't stop eating donuts.
Narrator: There on a bale of hay was a brand new box of tasty donuts.
Narrator: There on a bale of hay was a brand new box of tempting donuts.
Narrator: Yes, it was time for Herky to make the deliveries on his new delivery route.
Narrator: Herky had no idea what was about to happen as a result of his lack of control.
Narrator: Now, as luck would have it, just at that moment, Jay Jay was flying by.
Narrator: Thankfully, God helps us when we make mistakes, and He sent Jay Jay to help Herky.
Narrator: Well, this is the story of how Snuffy the Skywriter found out all about the ocean, with the help of a little fish.
Narrator: Well, this is the story of how Snuffy the Skywriter found out all about God's beautiful ocean and the fish He put in it.
Narrator: Snuffy was having so much fun, that the time passed very quickly.
Narrator: Snuffy floated all around with God's beautiful sea creatures.
Narrator: But when Snuffy let out his skywriting smoke, all that did was to make everything cloudy and dark. Suddenly, Snuffy couldn't see anything.
Narrator: But Snuffy didn't know that God made all of His creatures with their own special places to live. And the ocean was no place for smoke.
Narrator: That's how Snuffy made a new fish friend named Gilbert. Gilbert taught him that the ocean's meant for fish, not for planes, which was just fine with Snuffy since he loved flying in the air with his good friends, Jay Jay and Tracy.
Narrator: And that's how God used a dream and a fish named Gilbert to help Snuffy learn about the wonderful ocean He created. Snuffy was now happy just being a plane and flying above the water with his good friends, Jay Jay and Tracy.
Narrator: Now Herky was right the first time. He should have asked to help and he shouldn't have gone off on his own, but instead he went to get the hat all by himself on this most windy, windy day.
Narrator: Now Herky was right the first time. He should have asked to help and he shouldn't have gone off on his own, but instead he ignored Brenda's warning and set off after the hat on this most windy day.
Narrator: The happy little hat was blown across the sky again by a big gust of wind. And Herky was enjoying the game so much, that he raced off after it, still humming his happy tune.
Narrator: Herky was enjoying the game so much, that he forgot about the wind. So, when the playful little hat flew off again, he raced after it, still humming his happy tune.
Narrator: So, after all that, Brenda finally had her favorite hat back. Herky knew to ask for help when he needed it, and he'd never fly off on such a windy day by himself again. And come to think of it, neither would the playful little hat.
Narrator: So, after all that, Brenda finally had her favorite hat back, and Herky realized what the Bible says about listening and learning, that it's best to ask for help when you need it. He'd never fly after a playful little hat on such a windy day again.
Big Jake: Well, you two had better fill up your fuel tanks. We have a long trip ahead of us.
Big Jake: This'll give you kids a chance to see more of God's incredible earth. Now go fuel up!
Big Jake: Oh, I know the place seems kind of gloomy. And it is full of all kinds of slithery things. But this swamp is an important part of our world. Jay Jay: What's so important about it, Big Jake? Big Jake: Well, for one thing, Jay Jay, if we didn't have swamps, there'd be one less place for animals like deer and raccoons to live.
Big Jake: Remember, all of the earth was created by God. Oh, I know the place seems kind of gloomy, but this swamp is an important part of our world. Jay Jay: What's so important about it, Big Jake? Big Jake: Well, for one thing, Jay Jay, God created swamps, it's one of the great places for animals like deer and raccoons to live.
Big Jake: Yep, that's a swamp lily, all right.
Big Jake: Yep, one of God's most beautiful.
Narrator: And after the long flight back, she couldn't wait to get it to Savannah.
Narrator: And while landing, they all thanked God for letting them see more of His wonderful earth.
Narrator: Every year at the beginning of summer, the airport had its Summer Sky Parade, and every year, Old Oscar led all the other planes. It was something he'd done since the very beginning of E.Z. Airlines.
Narrator: And every year, Old Oscar served as leader for all the other planes. But this year, there were some who were not very happy about Oscar always getting to lead.
Narrator: The young planes thought about that question all the way through the parade practice. And later when practice was over, Jay Jay and Tracy decided to find out the answer.
Narrator: The more the young planes thought about that question, the more unhappy they became. So later after practice, they decided to find out why someone else couldn't be first this year.
Big Jake: That next summer, the city presented a special flag to Oscar, and held the first Summer Sky Parade in his honor.
Narrator: The city was so thankful, that they gave Oscar a special flag, and held the first Summer Sky Parade in his honor.
Narrator: Old Oscar proudly went on to lead the parade over Tarrytown. And it was the best sky parade the planes have ever had.
Narrator: So, the young planes now knew how to let others be first...just as the Bible asks us to. And they had the greatest parade ever.
Narrator: So Jay Jay set out to find Evan, and he caught up with him in Tarrytown.
Narrator: Oscar was right, since the Bible says we shouldn't think we're more important than others.
Narrator: When they were done and the rocks were gone, they both returned to Tarrytown Airport.
Narrator: On the way back at the airport, Jay Jay was grateful he didn't have to do Evan's jobs every day.
Old Oscar: Then, by golly, maybe you ought to do something about that.
Old Oscar: The Bible says that we should tell others that they're special.
Narrator: But today, there was nothing. How could that be?
Narrator: Evan didn't like not being needed or helpful.
Narrator: So Jay Jay had a good time watching his buddy take a day off, and he was going to make sure that everyone remembered and celebrated Revvin' Evan Day now on.
Narrator: So Jay Jay had a good time helping his buddy take a day off, but he was happy to know that Evan would be back at work tomorrow, because the two of them were part of a great team.
