''Wings are the difference between flying and not''.
''If you have them you can, if you don't, you can not''.
With wings you can soar and glide in the breeze,
And dip and turn with incredible ease.
''Do loop-de-loops and shoot thru hoops''.
''Fly upside-down. And roll around''.
''And never ever leave the sky''.
ItĄŻs goanna crash!
NOSE UP, TIM! NOSE UP!
Don't let her rash!
She's my baby!
Chill out, Wanda, I know how to fly this thing.
I designed it, didn't l?
Based on MY dream - MY idea!
I drew up the plans!
And I helped you build it!
Any questions?
Your baby's fine, Wanda.
Not a scratch.
Someday you'll read about me.
Wild cat Wanda,ace test pilot, queen of the clouds!
Too bad the Frizz wasn't here to see the test flight.
Afternoon, class.
Good afternoon, Ms Frizzle.
I was just checking the wind conditions for today's model airplane show.
Nothing like a little moving air to lift the spirits, I always say!
AND lift the plane.
We might even win first prize with my new wing design.
Wings are wings.
What's the big deal?
Try flying without'em, Arnold.
No, thanks.
I prefer walking.
At least there's something holding me up.
Ground, Arnold!
Dull, dirty, boring ground -
that's what's holding you up!
But it's also keeping you down!
Imagine being inside this plane streaking through the air at hundreds of miles anhour -
with nothing but sky above and clouds below!
Streaking thru THIN air, you mean!
Come on, Arnold, it would be pretty hard to streak thru FAT air!
CAR-LOS!
Let's see, wings and thin air.
Now there's acombo that just might fly!
Oh, no!
You're not thinking about a field trip in Wanda's plane,are you, Ms Frizzle?
Of course not, Arnold.
IĄŻm THROUGH thinking about it!
ItĄŻs time to take chances - make mistakes -and fly like the wind!
Ah... Thank you, Liz.
We can't ALL go,Ms Frizzle.
Somebody has to stay here and operate the remote controls.
Affirmative, Tim!
That puts you in charge of the ground crew.
I need two volun teers to stay with Tim.
IĄŻll stay, Ms Frizzle! IĄŻll stay!
Oh, Phoebe... why don't you and Liz remain here.
I was afraid you'd say that.
All set for proper shrinkage.
Hit it, Phoebe!
Me?Well, uh...
here goes!
Say 'fly'.
FLYYYYYYYYYY!!!
Amazing!I love it!
Too bad EVERY kid can't have a porta shrinker!
Going up!
Single file, please.
You're the best, Ms Frizzle!
The wild blue yonder is yours, Wanda.
Go for it!
Yahoo.
Hey, Tim did a great job!
Yeah, he did.
This is fantastic!
There's even room for my books.
I think Tim forgot the parachutes.
No need for parachutes. Arnold
Not with Wildcat Wanda at the controls.
Come on, Wanda,
they're not real -they're only paint and wood!
Wood or not - we're going where no kid has gone before!
Can we talk about this?
Of course, Arnold.
But right now it's time to buckle up and fly right!
You ready?
All systems go!
contest.
Roger!
Prepare for an UPLIFTING experience, class.
And hold onto your hats!
Don't you ever listen?
Happy landing!!!
We're up!
We're flying!
Feel that air moving past us!
They don't call it an air plane for nothing, Keesha!
Looking good, Tim!
Can I try it?
Sure, but be careful.
This joy stick moves the tail rudder back and forth-
and the ?????????????????????? up and down.
That's what steers the plane wherever you want it to go.
Got it!
Wonder how high it will go?
We're slowing down!
Oh, my, what an AIR raising development.
The air's not moving as fast as it was before!
According to my research,
when a plane's nose tips up and slows down like this, it's called a stall.
Stall? As in 'stop flying'??!
Hold it!
lf we stop FLYING.
That means we start...
FALLLLLLLLING... !!!
ItĄŻs stalling, Feeb!
Nose down...QUICK!
Great save Phoebe, you did it!
What made it fall like that?
No air moving past the wings.
No moving air - no lift rock fall!
You pulled it out just in time.
The queen of the clouds is back!
I think IĄŻm goanna be sick!
You better bring them down, Tim.
ItĄŻs almost time to leave for the Air Show.
Will do, Feeb.
Let's see.
Where's a good place to land.
Is it just me...or did Tim just smash the remote control?!
You mean we're flying WITHOUT Tim!
We weren't doing so great WITH him!
Do something, Wanda!
You got us into this!
HELLLPPPP!!!!
What are we going to do, Feeb??!!
l don't know.
This never happened at my old school.
TIM! PHOEBE! DO SOMETHING!
GET US DOWN!
Come on, Liz, choose one!
We have to find our plane before something terrible happens!
If Ms. Frizzle were here,
SHE'D know how to turn this bus into the best searchand rescue airplane ever built!
We have wings, why aren't we flying?
Because there's no air moving past the wings!
Hey! I think we just passed my house!
Take a good look, Carlos.
It may be the last time you see it!
Come on, you weaslely whimps,
where's your spirit of adventure?!
We're on the path to glory!
How can we be on the path to anywhere if you can't steer?!
Hmmm, maybe this has something to do with thestee ring.
Humph! Maybe not!
I HATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS!
Gotta take action!
GET THOSE WINGS DOWN!
Push your wing down, Carlos!
IĄŻm pushing!
Stand by to lock, Ralphie!
Standing by!
PUUUUUUUUSH!!!
Wings locked!
HAAAAAANG ON!!!
As my old flight instructor used to say, two wing sare better than none!
I wish your old flight instructor were here now!
Wait second!
lf the wings are holding up theplane -
what's holding up the wings?
The same thing that's holding up Carlos...
MOVING AIR!
Hey! IĄŻm FLYING!
I can feel the air lifting me up!
Me, too!
BUBBLES AT TWELVE O'CLOCK!
See, Arnold!
That's why we're staying up!
The BUBBLES are holding us up?
Not the bubbles!
ItĄŻs the THIN AIR moving across the wings that's pushing us up!
right, Ms Frizzle?
You bet your windbreaker Keesha!
We all need a little lift now and then.
Remember, Liz, we need a plane that FLIES!
We're counting on you, Liz.
All right, you did it...
sort of!
What happened?
We had TEN wings!
Why didn't we stay in the air!
This heap is too heavy.
Even if it had a HUNDRED wingsit wouldn't get enough LIFT for the air to hold it up!
Now there aren't even any wings.
Anybody know where we are?
We're lost - that's where we are!
Lost and little!
They won't find us even if they find us!
Excuse me...but our propeller just stopped
According to my research, the propeller keeps us moving forward.
Let me understand this.
lf the propeller isn't working, we slow down, right?
And if we slow down there's going to be less and less air moving across our wings.
Exactly and when there's no air moving across our wings we...
FALL!!!
We could WALK to where the plane is before Liz gets us up in the air!
We're up!
But we aren't we getting any higher!
Oh oh! It doesn't look like this plane has enough power to get us over...
CITY HALLLLLL!!!
Topflight, Liz!
Nice going, Wanda!
We're doomed.
We'll be little model kids forever!
Instead of being Queen of the Clouds -
you should be Queen of the Trees!
Oh, yeah?
Well, Wildcat Wanda never gives up!
Come on,guys, what made us fly before?
Um...air moving across the wings!
Roger!
And moving air causes lift!
Double Roger!
Come on, Wanda,
the only way this plane is going to move is if it falls out of the tree!
Ralphie's right!
There is no moving air if WE'RE not moving!
Ah, the joys of flight!
Look at the power of those wings.
That's it, Ms Frizzle!
We can use that bird to tow us up, up and away!
Only one problem.
How do we STAY up?
Yeah, how does a bird stay up?
It doesn't have apropeller to move it forward.
By flapping its wings.
Exactly!
The propeller does for a plane what flapping wings do for a bird.
But our propeller isn't turning!
AH! Look what I found!
Wait! IĄŻve got it!
??????????????????????????propeller
Once we get up in the air we can turn the propeller ourselves.
What a splendid idea!
They could be anywhere, Tim.
We'll NEVER find them!
Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic Ocean in a plane like this -all by himself.
And he NEVER gave up!
You're right, Tim.
We WILL find them!
IĄŻll drive!
Pedals in place, Ms Frizzle!
Ready for take-off!
Have a seat, Arnold.
Prepare for bird-assisted take off!
As my grandmother Frieda used to say,
a bird on the branch is worth two on the ranch!
We've got moving air and lift!
Pedal, guys...PEDAL!
???????????????????
It's working!
Hey pedal pushers; you're actually turning the propeller!
We're climbing under our own power!
Untie therope, Arnold!
Arnold!
Hang on, Arnold!
I'M HANG-IIIIIIIING... !!!
ARNOLD! ARNOLD!
Oh, I knew I should've stayed home today!
I don't want to be here either, ok?
ARNOLD! WHAT'S THE BIRD'S TAIL DOING?
Ummm... IT'S MOVING BACK AND FORTH INTHE WIND!
SORT OF LIKE HE'S STEERING!
HEY! MAYBE I CAN STEER BACK TO YOU!
SOUNDS LIKE THE PROPER COURSE TO ME!
Excuse me, but I need this more than you do.
Left turn, please!
BANK RIGHT, ARNOLD!
MORE RIGHT...
TOO MUCH...
BANK LEFT...
A LITTLE MORE...
HOLD IT!
GOTCHA!
SLIDE DOWN!
Now?
NOW!!!
Way to go, Ace!
Smooth move!
IT'S BEEN GREAT FLYING WITH YOU!
THANKS FOR THE LIFT!!
IĄŻve got that air-moving-past-our-wings-feeling,guys...keep pedalling!
We're out of control!
If only this wheel worked I could steer!
KEEP PEDALLING!
Too bad we're not a bird.
Arnold, you're a genius!
You can help me steer!
l can???
Just like you steered that bird!
Exactly! Our plane has a tail, too!
l can't go out there, it's too windy!
Not too worry, Arnold.
This will keep you warm and cozy.
And this will keep you from falling.
You can do it, Arnold.
You've got the experience!
The know-how.
The right stuff!
Gee, it's NICE to be needed!
Whoa!
What was that?!!
I think we're flying over the model airplane show!
Actually, Wanda, I think we are IN the show!
We're losing altitude, Arnold!
NO PROBLEM!
AR-NOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD... !!!SORRRRRR-RYYYYYYY!!!
WHATEVER YOU DO...
DON'T STOP PEDALLING!
Huh...Look at that, John!
I've never seen a maneuver like it.
Amazing!
Look at all those planes up ahead!
Great! It's the model airplane show!
Tim, look!
It's them!
They're in the show!
They're also in trouble!
How can you tell?
'Cause NOBOD Y'S ever done a triple Immelmanwith a double outside loop!
We've got to save them.
DO SOMETHING, LIZ!
l hope they see us.
See us?
This plane is so big it could be a planet!
It's Liz!
She wants us to land!
Take us down, Wildcat!
Roger, Ms Frizzle. PEDAL!!
I'm getting to pooped to pedal!
Me, too! Next time I want to be the pilot!
WE'RE DROPPING TOO FAST! BANK LEFT,ARNOLD...LEFT!
BANKING LEFT!
NOSE UP, ARNOLD!
NOSE UP!!!
NOSE UP!
TOO HIGH, ARNOLD...
WE'RE GOING TOSTALL!
BRING DOWN THE ELEVATORS!
ELEVATORS, DOWN...
YESSSS!
LEVEL OUT ARNOLD, PEDAL HARDER,GUYS,
WE NEED TO KEEP OUR AIR SPEED UP ANDTHE AIR MOVING OVER OUR WINGS!
WE'RE PEDALLING!
WE'RE PEDALLING!!
You're doing it, Wildcat!
You are flying!
WE'RE COMIN' IN, LIZ!
EASE OFFELEVATORS, ARNOLD!
EASING OFF!
Hold your speed, Tim, they're coming down!
Speed steady!
What an inventive performance!
Way to go, Wanda!
All right, Wildcat!
Hey! Where's Liz?
WAY TO GO, LIZ!!!
''To both birds and planes wings are a gift,
Air rushing across them gives them a lift''.
But even with wings you need power for speed,
While a propeller must pull for the flight tosucceed. ''
And I must say that steering,
I almost forgot,
Is what makes you go where you want to ...or not
Thank you.
And thank YOU, Wanda.
It gives me great pleasure to presentthe Grand Prize for Model Airplane excellence to you and Tim...
not only for constructing a plane with superior designand exceptional maneuverability -
but for incredible aerobatic ingenuity.
What a show!
Thank you, but this trophy belongs to EVERYONE in our class.
We couldn't have won it without them.
Right, Ms Frizzle?
Well, as I always say, sometimes you have to dothe wrong stuff -
to find out what the RIGHT stuff really is!
Magic School Bus, the Producer speaking.
Hi. I just watched your show on flight and it really blew me away.
But I do have a few questions.
Roger.
My name isn't Roger.
I-IĄŻm not saying it is.
Roger is just another way of saying 'right' or'okay' in pilot lingo.
Gotcha! Now, about those planes the bus turned into?
They were ridiculous!
Nobody could've ever flown them!
Believe it or not, those were real planes.
Uh sure, the first two didn't get off the ground.
But the Wright Flyer was the first airplane toactually fly!
Okay... I mean, Roger, here's something for you.
Steering a bird or a plane is a lot more complicated than you showed.
You got that right!
Take airplanes, for openers.
They have moveable flaps on the wings as wellas on the tail.
Raise one flap up and the other one down -
and the wing rises for a banking turn to the right.
Reverse the flaps, and the plane will bank to the left.
Oh, I get it!
But here's something I DON'T get.
How does a BIRD fly?
Ah! Good question!
The movement of a bird's wing is so complicated-
it took stop motion photography to figure it out.
Birds use their wings both for lift and for push forward.
Roger! But you didn't say anything about thehardest part of flying -landing!
Well, we showed it, but we didn't talk about it.
To land, you have to slow down and fly close tothe ground
reduce your liftso you slowly sink until your wheels touch the ground.
Then cut the power and apply the brakes.
But landing isn't always easy -
and even birds mess up once in a while.
Lizards, too!
Hey, thanks for calling the Magic School Bus.
Keep watching, and keep 'em flying!
