Airplane

The Airplane is one of the many vehicles within the Total Drama series.

In Total Drama Island, the airplane was a yellow, single-propeller plane with red stripes running along the sides. It was poorly maintained, as it was dented, covered in grease and rust stains. One of its wheels was replaced by a ski, and its wings were held together by duct tape. However, despite Chris' cheapness, it kept running.

Phobia Factor
It was first seen in Phobia Factor, when Owen and Izzy had to ride in it to conquer their fears of flying. In this episode, it was piloted by Chef Hatchet, who was dressed as a female flight attendant. He flew the plane wildly, performing loops and even flying upside-down. Despite this, both Gophers managed to conquer their fears, earning their team two points. The plane's wing fell right off the body shortly after it landed.

X-Treme Torture
It was later seen in X-Treme Torture, fully repaired. It slightly represents an X-wing from Star Wars, as Chris was wearing an outfit that was an obvious spoof of the outfits that X-wing pilots wore. It was first seen when Chris flew it low over the campgrounds, using the loud roar of its engine to rudely wake up all of the campers. It was later used when DJ and Trent had to jump out of it and skydive down to their respective targets on the beach below. Although Chris was seen to be inside the plane with them, Chef was seen to be the pilot this time. Thus, this is the only time in which the plane has two different pilots in the same episode.

Wawanakwa Gone Wild!
It was seen again in Wawanakwa Gone Wild! when Izzy shoots a tranquilizer gun at it and hit it in the left wing. This caused the plane to jerk, cough, and sputter, with a thin stream of smoke pluming from it, before it dipped down and crashed off-screen. Logically, this should be impossible, as the plane was not a living creature, and thus could not be affected by a tranquilizer dart. Also, this episode depicts the plane as an innocent passerby plane, despite its every other appearance. It is unknown who was piloting it, as Chris was back at the campgrounds waiting for the other campers, and Chef had been tranquilized by Izzy at the time.

Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island
Despite supposedly being destroyed in the previous episode, it was seen one last time in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island. Justin was flying it after he convinced Chef to give him the keys to the plane, instead offering an autographed picture of himself. After this, Justin jumps out and parachutes down to Lindsay, Beth, and Ezekiel, who had the million dollar case at the time. Once he did this, the now-pilotless plane spirals out of control, in the process crashing through the support beams for the high diving board over the pool of green jell-o (which had been set up for Courtney in Phobia Factor). At that time, Geoff, Bridgette, Katie, Sadie, LeShawna, Courtney, Cody, DJ, Tyler, and Owen were all crowded on it. This caused the diving board to fall off and, subsequently, set off a chain of events that resulted in five of them qualifying for Total Drama Action, and the other five not. After smashing through the support beams, it continued on and flew right into the woods. The plane then was supposedly destroyed for good, as it is never seen again in Total Drama Action. However, a plane similar to this one appears during a Total Drama World Tour Aftermath episode.

Full Metal Drama
In Total Drama Action, a different plane, that resembles a silver World War I aircraft, was used instead, replacing the destroyed model. The contestants are forced to jump out of a plane to reenact a World War I scenario, but by the time they had all jumped, they realized the plane never even took off, and was just a prop in a studio.

Get a Clue
Courtney mentioned the plane in this episode, although it did not appear. She recalled that the plane seen in Full Metal Drama had been fake, and she compared it to the train that they were currently in.

Total Drama World Tour

 * See main article: Total Drama Jumbo Jet

A plane is used in Total Drama World Tour, in this case the Total Drama Jumbo Jet. It transports the contestants around the world from one location to another, until it is destroyed in Awww, Drumheller.

Aftermath Aftermayhem
In a flashback, Blaineley is shown to have put a bag over Bridgette's head and then stuffed her in the yellow plane, closing the door on her in the process, boarding her off to a Total Drama tour around the world.
