then a snail. After a race and several comparisons about who was the best of the best, they both became firm friends. Pippa enjoys helping out, and likes using the heli-wash (as opposed to Budgie). Chuck the American Helicopter (voiced by Kerry Shale) (was stated in the second TV episode as being a Boeing CH-47 Chinook) is a twin-rotored helicopter, with what appears to be a crew cut under his cap. He does not understand British English well at all. He sometimes gets cocky and likes to show off, but this led him to trouble when he disrupted an air show and finished up in a pond. He also has a bad habit of frequently calling Lionel "Captain". Lionel the Aircraft in Charge (voiced by Jeremy Nicholas) is the senior helicopter in the series (influenced by a Westland Lynx), sporting a modern-era pilot's cap, moustache and a collar (with his front landing gear resembling a tie). He does not take kindly to Budgie, Pippa, or especially Chuck causing trouble and making themselves nuisances, but he always keeps things in order with his patient but firm ways. He insists on cleanliness from the aircraft at all times, and is nicer than what he appears to be. His catchphrase is "Juddering joysticks!" Other aircraft Patsy the American stunt plane (was stated by Lionel as being a Pitt's Special). Wally the old Supermarine Walrus Jean Claude the pompous French Concorde Jasper Jeer-jet the snobbish private jet. Jasper was a joker to start off and kept on radioing Harefield Airfield pretending there was an emergency, but when he really did need help in a storm, Budgie came to his rescue, and since then Jasper has realised it is not a good idea to play the fool all the time.
