This edition of the Big Adventure Series travels to Zurich, Switzerland, on a McDonnell-Douglas MD-11 airplane. The trip includes watching the ground crew fill the gas tanks with 24,000 gallons of fuel, baggage check-in and loading, airplane food preparation, and even pilot training. Narrated by children and with colorful graphics illustrating the more technical information, The Big Plane Trip is an excellent choice for children embarking on their first flight, plane enthusiasts of all ages, or as an introduction to a transportation unit.
