Airplane

The Airplane is one of the many vehicles in the series, most prominently in Total Drama Island. It was not seen in Total Drama Action, but had brief cameo appearances in Total Drama World Tour.

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 It was poorly maintained, dented, covered in grease and rust stains, one of its wheels was missing and had been replaced by a ski and its wings were kept in place by duct tape.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



Phobia Factor
The plane was first seen in Phobia Factor, when Owen and Izzy had to ride in it to conquer their fear 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 and the fact that the taped on the plane was falling off, 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. 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 doing so. 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 fallen out of the plane, they realize it never even took off, and was just a prop inside of the studio lot.

Get a Clue
Courtney mentioned the plane from Full Metal Drama, 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 riding in (despite the fact that the train wasn't fake).

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 and was piloted by Chef Hatchet, until it was ultimately destroyed in a massive explsion caused by Sierra in Awwwwww, Drumheller.

Aftermath Aftermayhem
In a flashback, Blaineley is shown to have put a bag over Bridgette's head and then stuffed her in a yellow plane that resembled the one from Total Drama Island, closing the door (which initially jammed into Bridgette), and sending her off on a Total Drama Tour around the world.
