BRENT:

Ah!
(GASPS)
My antenna!
Oh, no! No! No!
What am I going to do?
Last known coordinates,

Hawaii, are you there?
Do you read? I am low on fuel.

- Oh, no!
Oh, boy.
(PANTING) Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
Unknown rider, unknown rider.
You have entered restricted airspace.
Why haven't you responded
to radio contact?
DUSTY:
Somebody cut off my antenna.- BRAVO:
identify yourself.- I'm Dusty Crophopper.
BRAVO:
Roger that.Bogey has been identified
as Crophopper Seven.
I'm running on vapors. I need to land.
What are you doing out here
with an empty tank?
I thought I'd refuel in Hawaii, but...
Hawaii is 375 miles southwest of here.
- What?
- Listen, Crophopper.
You better follow us to the boat.
- "Bingo fields"?
- Places to land.
- The boat?
- The USS Dwight D. Flysenhower.
Bravo, checking in as frag plus one.
Check.

- Go ahead, Bravo.
Bogey is civilian.
Needs emergency fuel.
- Copy that.
- For flying out loud!
That's all I need,
a civilian exploding on my deck.
We could rig the barricade, sir.
All engines, ahead flank.
Aye, Captain. All engines ahead flank.
- Rig the barricade.
- Copy that.
Rig the barricade!
Chop-chop. Hubba-hubba.
BRAVO:
Let's line you upfor the barricade.
All you have to do is
throttle on back and call the ball
and hopefully end up in the spaghetti.
DUSTY:
What? Wait, no, wait!Wait a second!
Guys, I'm not sure I can do this.
I don't see how you have a choice.
Okay. But that runway is moving.
ECHO:
We'll set you upon the glide path.
DUSTY:
Runways are notsupposed to move.
Okay. I'm okay. I'm going to be fine.
- Take it easy.
- Moving runway, moving runway.
- There it is. Here we go.
- BRAVO:
Throttle on back.Maybe if I just came around again.
- Level your wings.
- Easy with it.
- Cut, cut, cut!
- (DUSTY SCREAMING)
Stop!
(ALL CHEERING)
We've got you, Crophopper.
Come on, let's get you fixed up,
refueled and back in the race.
You are way behind.
Thanks, guys.
You saved my tail out there.
- Victory.
- Victory.
DUSTY:
Hey, what is that?That's the Jolly Wrenches
Wall of Fame.
Every flyer, every mission.
DUSTY:
Mmm... Skipper... Skipper...Oh. Ha-ha! There he is.
Wait. I don't understand.
Why is there only one mission?
Chug, what's all that?
Well, I've never been out of the country.
You know, I brought the Commodium.
Whatever you do, don't drink the petrol.
We're only going for two days.
Got to be prepared, right?
Got beachwear,
dinner wear, underwear...
DUSTY (ON RADIO)
Skipper? Come in, Skipper.
Dusty! We're heading off
Glad you got there safe.
Weather report says a major storm
is brewing out there.
I'm not in Mexico.
I'm with the Jolly Wrenches.
You're on the Flysenhower?
Hey, I saw the Wall of Fame.
They only list one mission for you.
Dusty, if you're not past
that storm yet, you need...
That can't be right. It must be a mistake.
Look, you have to get out of there.
You're going to have to fly high.
Is it true?
Listen to me, get above the storm!
- Skipper, is it true?
- It's true!
(GASPS)
It's true.
I only flew one mission.
But all those stories?
Crophopper,
we got weather moving in fast.
You've got to take off
before it's too late.
I just need a second here.
That's a negative, son.
You don't go now, you don't go at all.

once you get airborne.
- Get above the storm.
Okay, engine full throttle.
Nod to the shooter when you're set.
Go win it for the Wrenches, Dusty.
Volo Pro Veritas!
Head wind's good. Pressure's good.
Go on cat two.
(DUSTY SCREAMS)
FEMALE REPORTER:
Seor Ripslinger, any comment
on the disappearance
of Dusty Crophopper?
Dusty was a nice guy
who flew the challenge
and pierced the clouds of mediocrity.
(SNIFFLES)
We're all going to miss him. Excuse me.
Let's just hope he makes
a better boat than a plane.
That's a good one, boss.
(LAUGHING) Oh, yeah,
that was pretty good.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
Seor Dusty
has 10 times the engine you do.
And 10 times the integrity.
Said the plane with
the shiny new propeller.
How much integrity did
that one cost you, sweetheart?
Too much.
You used to be a great champion.
How the mighty have fallen.
(GRUNTS IN DISGUST)
You are not even worthy
of a cape swish.
Really?
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
DUSTY:
How can it beonly one mission?
SKIPPER:
The Battle of Airway.The raid in Tujunga Harbor.
The Aleutians.
The Battle of Wake island.

DOTTIE:
Dusty!EL CHUPACABRA:
Mi amigo!SKIPPER:
Quick, to the hangar.Broken wing ribs,
twisted gear, bent prop,
and your main spar is cracked bad.
It's over.
One mission?
So much for Volo Pro Veritas.
Can we get a minute alone, please?
You, too, Sparky.
My first patrol as a Jolly Wrench
was at Glendal Canal.
My squadron was all rookies.
All razor sharp.
I should know.
I trained every single one of them.
It was supposed to be a routine patrol.
A milk run.
Look, Skipper, enemy ship
two o'clock low, two miles.
- Easy pickings. What do you say?
- Negative, Jigsaw Two.
Our orders are to recon
and report back.
Come on, Skip, it will be a turkey shoot.
JIGSAW THREE:
Let's do it, Skipper.JIGSAW FOUR:
Yeah, come on!All right. Let's go in for a closer look.
But keep your distance.
Holy Cow! It's the whole enemy fleet!
SKIPPER:
it was too late to pull up.Get out of there, Lucas!
My whole squadron.
Under my command.
After that, I just couldn't
bring myself to fly again.
Let me ask you something, Dusty.
If you knew the truth about my past,
would you have asked me to train you?
No.
I'm sorry, Dusty.
Dusty?
Can you believe it?
He hasn't been straight with me
this whole time.
At least you were honest.
You said I wasn't built for this.
(SIGHS) I guess I should
have listened to you.
Dusty, if you had listened to me
I would never ever forgive myself.
Look, the Skipper may have
