[The next morning, Dusty and the gang flew over some fields. Sparky polishes some binoculars]
Sparky: (humming)
Skipper: Sparky, binoculars.
[Sparky blows the binoculars and gives them to Skipper. Chug is with them]
Chug: Those are some mighty clean optics, there. What do you use? Some kind of shammy?
Sparky: Oh, no, it's a special microfiber cloth.
Chug: Ah. Microfiber.
Sparky: Yeah, lint-free, scratch-free. I'll get you some. I got an ex-Navy buddy who sells them to me wholesale. I helped him set up his web...
Skipper: Knock it off. We got a lot of work to do.
Lucky: Yes, you're starting to distract us here so can you please keep it down? Thank you.
Sparky: (whispers) I'II hook you up.
Chug: (whispers) Thanks.
Skipper: All right, guys, remember this. It ain't how fast you fly, it's how you fly fast.
Dusty Crophopper: Roger that.
Skipper: Show me what you got.
Timon: Watch this! Oh, yeah.
[The gang starts to go up and down between trees]
Skipper: Great, you can go up and down. What else? Show me your turns.
Mater: Here we go!
[They start to make some turns]
Skipper: You think that was good? That stunk! Knife-edge those elm trees. Oh, come on. Keep your nose up!
Sparky: Hey, Skip.
[He points to the sky, giving Skipper an idea to train Dusty better]
Skipper: You want speed, right?
Dusty Crophopper: Yeah.
Skipper: Serious, bolt-rattling speed?
Dusty Crophopper: Oh, yeah.
Skipper: Then look up. Do you see those clouds? The highway in the sky. Tailwinds like nothing you've ever flown.
[Dusty look up at the clouds nervously]
Skipper: What are you waiting for?
[Dusty gulps and flew up to the clouds]
Skipper: Come on, power up. Firewall thrust. Max torque, max torque! All right, looking good. Hold V-Y, Dusty. Max rate, now. Your nose is too high. Get your nose down. You're going to stall. Ease off the pitch. Nose down!
[Dusty look down and the ground begins to swirl lower behind him]
Dusty Crophopper: Oh!
[He drops back down to the ground, much to Skipper's surprise]
Skipper: Hey, what are you're doing?
Simba: Something must be wrong. Let's go.
[Dusty and the gang lands on the runaway and pants for breath as Skipper and the Squad approach him]
Dusty Crophopper: (panting)
Skipper: What just happened up there?
Dusty Crophopper: I'm.... I'm low on fuel.
Skipper: Do I look like I was built yesterday?
Dusty Crophopper: No, no. It's a long story.
Skipper: I got time.
