Description:
Sleek, regal, gravity-defying, I fly the open skies.
Every day, tens of thousands of airplanes crisscross the globe, delivering people and cargo of all sorts--from mail to medicine to dinosaur fossils--exactly where they need to go. Join one long-haul commercial airplane as it prepares for takeoff and follow the flight all the way to a safe landing at the destination.
Mechanics mend parts, pilots check the cockpit, dispatchers make a flight plan, and flight attendants tend to passengers in the course of this important journey. Along its journey, the plane encounters course corrections, weather challenges, and a sky full of other aircraft--but it flies through, delivering its passengers exactly where they want to be. From the creators of I Ship, I Fuel, and I Truck comes an adventure that will send readers' imaginations soaring!
