Ever had a friend who was

In Australia, I met
an airplane called Isla
who was so great

I couldn't help being
a little bit jealous.
Okay, a lot jealous.

If I see one more rock,
I'm gonna turn into a rock.

Here comes someone

both: [gasp] It's Isla!
- Oh, she's so awesome.
- Oh, she's super awesome.
- She's a doctor, Tommo.

A doctor?
She looks like a plane to me.
- She's a flying
doctor's plane.
She carries doctors

which are too far away
from hospitals
for people to get to.
- Wow!
You're incredible, Isla!

Hello again.
I'm Thomas.

That's our Isla.

There's a flu outbreak
on Melville Island,

in Pine Tree
needs an airlift

Gotta fly.

Caitlin was amazing.
She wished she had Caitlin's

Emily used her strong buffers

thought she was amazing too.
I thought Isla was incredible,

my strong and sturdy frame
