0:00:34 > 0:00:38In the outback, if you hear a sound like this...
0:00:38 > 0:00:39MIMICS AEROPLANE
0:00:39 > 0:00:45..you'll know it's Ned, the little wombat...coming in to land!
0:00:45 > 0:00:49More than anything in the world, Ned wanted to be a pilot,
0:00:49 > 0:00:50just like Frank!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02George the postman was away for a few days,
0:01:02 > 0:01:05so Frank and Buster were delivering the post.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Whoa! Look out, Ned.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Sorry, Frank. Brmmm...
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Hi, Ned.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Hi, Buster. Can I help deliver the post?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Sure, Ned. He can help, can't he, Frank?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Yeah. You can help me load up.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I was thinking I could fly the plane...
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Fly the plane!?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27You can't just fly a plane, Ned.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Buster's right. It takes a lot of hard work and practice.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I'm sure I can learn. Please!
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Oh, please!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Well, all right. I'll get the book.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Now...where is it?
0:01:48 > 0:01:49TOOTS HORN
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Aha! Here it is.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00There you go. Everything you need to know about flying.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03You'll have to read it if you want to be a pilot.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- All right.- I think we'd better get going, Frank.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Good idea, Buster. We've got a lot of post to deliver.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15- Get the gate, Ned!- Oh, sorry. I'm getting the gate, Frank!
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Now, Ned was ready to learn how to be a pilot.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Ned didn't know flying was so complicated.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Cooee!
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Hi, Ned.- Hello, Mitzi.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Oh, can't reach. What you reading?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58It's a book on flying. I want to be a pilot.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00But it's a bit hard to read.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04I don't know why you need such a big book to learn how to fly.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10It can't be THAT hard. I mean, what can you bump into in the sky?
0:03:10 > 0:03:14You're right, Mitzi. Flying must be easy.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Yeah.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18It's the landing bit that's tricky.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Landing?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Landing...landing?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Have you seen Ned?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Nah.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32He's inside with that big book.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Ned really wants to be a pilot, doesn't he, Frank?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Hmm. But we really need him to help us take off.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I can help! I can work the bats!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Well, we could do with an extra pair of hands.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Thanks, Mitzi.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49As Frank and Buster were about to take off,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Mitzi tried to do Ned's job.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Left a bit, Frank!
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- LEFT! - But it all went a bit wrong!
0:03:55 > 0:03:56- Watch me! - Whooooah!
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Mitzi!- What's up?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01You forgot to open the gate, Mitzi!
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I only said I'd do the bats!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Don't worry, Mitzi.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I'll get the gate!
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Buster...aren't you supposed to be in the plane too?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Yes...YES! FRANK!
0:04:24 > 0:04:28FRANK! WAIT! FRAAAANK!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32NED?!
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- What you doing now, Ned? - I'm going to practise landing.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42You mean you're gonna jump off the veranda?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45With the help of my wings. Chocks away!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- CRASH! - NO!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I told ya landing was tricky.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Are you OK, Ned?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I think so.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00If you want to learn how to land, why don't you read Frank's book?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I tried. But I can't read it.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06It's full of really big words.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Maybe I'm just not ready to be a pilot, Buster.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13These things take time, Ned.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Frank'll be back soon.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- He'll think of something.- Oh...
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Ha-ha!
0:05:20 > 0:05:24My dear Frank. How are you?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Fine, Archie. I've got a parcel for you.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Aha!
0:05:28 > 0:05:33Ho-ho! It's my new running shoes! Ha-ha!
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Same as the old ones but with a bit more vroom!
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Ha-ha! Thank you, Frankie old chap. So how are things at the homestead?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Ned's got it into his head he wants to be a pilot.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Oh! Good for Mr Ned, I must say.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Ha-ha-ha! He's jolly brave!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- What do you mean?- Well...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54He wants to be a pilot,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57and he's never been in a plane before, has he?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01No...no, he hasn't...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Then Frank had an idea.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Why not take Ned up in the plane,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08to show him what being a pilot was really like?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Right, Ned. We'll go through this one last time.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I'll be sitting here in the front.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17You'll be sitting here in the back.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Hiya! What's happening? - Frank's gonna let Ned fly the plane.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Awwww! You're kidding! Ned's gonna fly the plane?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29No, no, no. I'm just taking Ned up for a trip to see if he likes it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Are you gonna do anything exciting, Frank?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Like...one of those spinny things?
0:06:35 > 0:06:36You mean a loop the loop?
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Yeah, where you go round and round and round, then you fly upside down?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Fly upside down?!
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Don't worry, Ned.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46You'll just be going for a gentle ride, that's all.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Right! Let's get going!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52You DO still want to fly, don't you?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Good luck, Ned!
0:07:09 > 0:07:11NED SCREAMS
0:07:11 > 0:07:14When Frank saw that Ned wasn't enjoying his flight,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17he turned back for home.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20But by the time Frank had landed, Ned was worn out.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Wow, Ned! You're so brave!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30He doesn't look too good.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31I don't feel very well.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Oh. You'll feel better next time.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Next time?!
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Yes. You've gotta go in the plane lots if you wanna be a pilot.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45WHAT? No! It was so scary, and I can't read the book.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51I'm sorry, Frank, I don't think I'll ever become...a REAL pilot.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Don't give up, Ned.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Come on, I'll teach you.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57What? You'll help me?
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Help me to read it?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Sure! But it'll take a lot of hard work.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I know, Frank. But I really want to do it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Hey, Frank, can I borrow your book too?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Sure, Mitzi. Er, do you want to be a pilot too?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15No, I just need to water the hanging basket!
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Later, the Koala Brothers had one more parcel to deliver.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24That's the last one, Frank.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Get the gate, Ned!
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I'm getting the gate, Frank!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Buckle up, Buster!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Buckled up!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Ned knew it was going to be hard to become a pilot,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and he'd need all the help he could get.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Oh, they've left one behind.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05"To Pilot Ned...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08"Love, Frank and Buster."
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Oh.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Goggles!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Proper flying goggles! Wow!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Thanks, Frank! Thanks, Buster!
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Ha ha!- Ned realised, with the Koala Brothers' help,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29he COULD become a pilot someday.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Maybe even the best pilot in all the outback!
