Mike Da Mustang: First Episode

Uploaded By: AirShowBuzz 12/08/2009

Ok... so here is the first premier episode of our secret project. All of us at ASB are pretty excited about MIKE DA MUSTANG. Mostly because we know what it is like to be a kid who stares at the sky and wants to fly. MIKE DA MUSTANG is for the kid in all of us. Please share this link with your friends around the world so that kids everywhere can know how we feel.

Outstanding guys...Makes me feel like a kid again !

Errrr...does this mean that we'll be seeing faces on the Horsemen mounts ?, now that would be novel
on the circuit !....only 'Kidding'.

Keep 'em coming.

Geedee 12/12/09 5:27AM

My kids love it and so does the missus, even though she said Mike should check the windsock
direction before takeoff for the airshow !. Whatever...great hints and tips for the youngsters
presented in a way, they'll understand and remember, really looking forward to the next episode.

Rhino18 12/12/09 10:33AM

Awesome video! Im 27 and LOVE it!! Keep the episodes coming!! You guys should make a movie from it
and present it to Warner Brother, Disney...or someone!! This reminds me of cars and i think would
make a big hit!!

Jockey31 12/12/09 1:35PM

I can't think of any better way to introduce aviation to children. Keep them comin'. Finally
something that I can share with friends immune to the disease of flight. Poor guys......Thank you
for all that you guys do for aviation....

Great job! This rivals anything out there. It was refreshing to see a good clean program with a nice
message instead of the mindless violent stuff that they call kids programing today. Thanks for your
effort and keep up the good work. This is a great way to get kids interested in aviation.

SEWolff 12/12/09 4:09PM

Absolutely fantastic!!

Gregsrecon 12/12/09 4:48PM

Great Video guys! My little cousins love it and I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it myself!

Hawker Driver 12/13/09 1:19AM

Well done......

100mileperhour 12/13/09 9:12AM

GREAT! My son watched twice in a row! I appreciate the attention to details! (I.E. the clear of
clouds reference.)

BobL 12/13/09 11:05AM

I may be into my fifties but I enjoyed that!!! Can't wait for their next adventure...

TankPanZeR™ 12/13/09 12:25PM

HA-HA! That is pretty damn good! The windsock rocks!!!..LOL! "strong corss wind and wheel landing.
Nice."........LOL!

Copperbelt Jack 12/13/09 10:49PM

I wish I had a son or daughter I could share this with. Whether this becomes a long-running series
or not, I think I'll keep an eye on this video for when I can show my kids why their daddy loves
aviation so much.

Ed Shipley 12/14/09 6:59AM

Glad to hear that everyone is enjoying Mike DA Mustang. Please pass the link to the video around to
your friends so we can spread the word about Mike and his friends. Thanks for your support!
Cheers

Jeff Payton 12/17/09 12:18AM

My two year old loves Mike Da Mustang! He can't get enough of it! I'm glad we got the full episode
because I was geting tired of playing the trailer over and over!

Michael Goulian 12/18/09 2:17PM

When are we going to see a MIKE DA MUSTANG toy or t-shirt...LOVE IT!

Steph 12/19/09 2:44AM

Mike-
I have baseball style shirts for kids coming soon with Mike, Axel, Buzz, and Igor... stay tuned! I
might even find one big enough for you! Just let me know you favorite character... I am guessing it
is Mike?

Airracefan 12/19/09 4:19PM

How about a DVD of this ,makes a great gift for the Grandson and he can watch it anytime .

Dr.Ken 12/20/09 5:31PM

Great Video with excellent graphics and an eye to detail. Keep up the good work. An excellent way
to introduce the joys and safety of flight. Looking forward to the next episode of Mike da Mustang!

Skovsgard 12/21/09 11:03AM

Excellent production with a positive message for children young and old…Hope you are taking this
to NATPE this January, would make a great series.

Jane 12/21/09 4:49PM

I love this! Great job! I remember my kids watching Jay Jay years ago. This is light years
beyond.

USNAirpower 12/30/09 1:41PM

Very well done! My kids loved it! Keep up the great work.

Boy, I can relate to Axle...... :)

Ed Shipley 12/30/09 3:45PM

Glad to hear that everyone is liking MIKE. Make sure to pass the link around so we can spread the
good word! Thanks... Shipley

westphae 1/01/10 11:54AM

My 2 year old son loves this--keep them coming! (I enjoyed it too!) Great work!

AmbitiousG 1/01/10 12:44PM

Outstanding! More More!

AmbitiousG 1/01/10 12:45PM

Outstanding! More more!

irishwriter 1/01/10 2:03PM

This is the best. Great animation. Compelling story. Appealing characters. And unbelievably
accurate sound. Can't wait to share this with the grandkids.

topfunaviation 1/01/10 6:42PM

How much time to we spend at Safety Seminars trying to discourage the kind of unsafe/distracted
flying that would lead someone to fly a plane into a windsock and damage the plane? Surely there is
some other way to ground Mike so that he can spend time with Axle than glorifying wild flying. I've
flown aerobatics, and I know how appealing the zooming and twirling is to both pilot and viewer--but
an aerobatic pilot needs to be as focused on flying, and as safe, as an ATP. Showing off for
friends is a big cause of accidents, and not something to be encouraged, no matter how indirectly.

Is this really for kids who have never flown? Or only for those who already have some aviation
connection?

Time magazine's "Fear of Flying" cover is an indicator of how frightened people are of flying right
now. Presenting an accident, even one as minor as a "sprained wing" to the public as "normal" right
now (in the first episode, for pete's sake), isn't a really strong way to build up aviation. Yes,
you want to emphasize the excitement and the freedom--but not dumbness and danger.

And what about the girls? Where do they fit in this macho warbird and jeep scene? Having a
windsock with a sexy voice doesn't quite cut it for attracting girls too.

Bumpye 1/02/10 7:01AM

Great video! I agree with Rhino 18, this should be made into a full length movie. I remember reading
a book as a young child that had pictures of how to fly an airplane. I would sit for hours with that
book "flying" my airplane. This movie could ignite the same spark in many young children.

Radiochaos 1/02/10 2:12PM

Is this the sequel to "Tugger the 4X4 Jeep who wish he could fly" ?

Love the clip and can't wait to see more.

p51par5 1/02/10 8:47PM

Great job folks - As an active EAA Young Eagle pilot, I am hoping you find a way to perhaps
incorporate this into the Y progam for the younger ones.
Though a proud owner of a Thorp T-18, I confess to a serious case of "P51 Envy"

Andy 1/04/10 8:46AM

wow that was a awesome clip

phowley 1/09/10 5:04PM

Nice!

99thBearcat 1/11/10 11:07PM

This is too cool.. Nice work!!! ~!S!~ Max needs to learn to respect his elders.... ')

lahartz 1/12/10 7:30PM

Love it, makes me want to fly! Mike is going to inspire kids everywhere.

yooper86 1/12/10 8:59PM

Ditto the good sound (and voices). The kids liked it, although one was worried about the fire.

Check out this bizarre Chinese aircraft cartoon:

TVRPhoto 1/13/10 12:55PM

I couldn't help but notice the similarities to an already existing animated film called Tugger.

Love it!

4th Generation Pilot 1/23/10 8:59PM

This show is great! My 18 month old LOVES it! Look forward to many more, although now I have to go
take my son flying now, or so that is my excuse to my wife!!

renniegt 1/27/10 1:00PM

Great cartooning,great story. I cant wait to show it to my grandson. I had fun watching it and
thinking what a nice introduction for young potential aviators.
Big Thanks.....Gary Rennie

renniegt 1/27/10 1:05PM

Great cartooning, great story. I cant wait to show this to my Grandson. I had fun watching and
thinking what a great introduction to young potential
aviators.

iceman56 1/27/10 4:29PM

This is excellent! What a great way to introduce aviation to young children. I hope you make more of
these. Can't wait to show this to my nieces and nephews.

JB 1/29/10 1:03PM

Oh Wow!! I actually love this. LOL!! Can't wait to see more coming up.

scott724k 2/01/10 2:20AM

Wonderful!! I have sent this to my aviation friends and my friends and family who have children.

scott724k 2/01/10 2:21AM

Wonderful!!! I have sent this to all my aviation friends and friends and family who have children.

Loco4Aero 2/01/10 6:35PM

This is great! Where do I buy the DVD?

wleemikell 2/01/10 9:16PM

Wow, fantastic! Three years ago at a Christmas party here in Kissimmee the Laurderbacks and I were
talking about how it was getting harder to get the younger folks interested in maintaining War
Birds. I think you have a great medium and opportunity to help grow the War Bird community. Thank
you for your passion. I look forward to more.

acepilot2b 2/03/10 3:51PM

i cant see the video

Paparonnie 2/04/10 10:21PM

WOW ! Super presentation ! Bravo !
What you should really do with "Mike The Mustang" is make connections with whomever produces such
programs as this for educational purposes. This is so much better than a lot of programs on TV such
as "Transformers, or Robotic type productions. Educational, violence free, and very well put
together. Good luck with whatever you choose to do with " MIKE DA MUSTANG ", and that comes from a
69 yr old that doesn't even like cartoons !

Pathfinder937 2/05/10 8:02AM

I've been to Oshkosh, I've sat in Quick Silver, I have two flying model P51-D's so now I can enjoy
bad weather days in with Mike, at 51 does this make the biggest kid!!!

flyhighbigsky 2/10/10 1:51AM

This is positively a main stream commercial cartoon! I also feel like a kid again. Good story and
moral points. My creative mind is racing around the pylons!!! Please expand the series!

flyhighbigsky 2/10/10 1:58AM

My youth group needs to see this episode and more. Check out our website inspiring kids to learn
about aircraft by working on and refurbishing warbird types. Can I show this to my group of young
people?
http://flatheadyouthaviation.org/ --Thanks for the quality entertainment. At 38 I must be a big
kid. I can't wait until morning to show my 5 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old "ACES"!!!

Dakuga 3/10/10 3:58PM

fantastic, well done.. good story.
Leonardo Da Vinci said once: When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with
your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

PilotDamon 3/12/10 3:41AM

I loved this! I want to buy it for my son! Will there be more?
