Amazing Airplanes

An airplane is amazing,

for it travels through the sky,

Above the clouds for miles and miles,

so very fast and high!

An airport is the place you go

to take a trip by air.

You check in at the terminal

to show you’ve paid your fare.

The ground crew weighs your luggage

and loads it in the hold.

And then you take the walkway

to the plane when you are told.

The flight deck’s where the captain

and copilot do their jobs.

They both know how to fly the plane

with all its dials and knobs.

They radio Control Tower
to check the runway’s clear.

They can’t take off unless it is,

with other planes so near.

By intercom the captain

on the flight deck says hello.

You have to put your seat belt on

before the plane can go!

A plane is big and heavy,

yet it climbs up really high.

It zooms along the runway

and soars into the sky.

Its wings hold big jet engines,

which are loud and very strong.

They suck in air and blow it through

to whoosh the plane along.

When the plane moves fast enough,

the air around’s so swift

It pushes up beneath the wings

and makes the whole plane lift.

Soon the plan is in the air,

so now you’re on your flight.

The cabin crew look after you

and make sure you’re all right.

They bring you drinks and magazines

and trays of food to eat.

And sometimes there’s a movie

you can watch while in your seat.

When the journey’s over,

the captain lands the plane.

Control Tower has to say it’s safe

for coming down again.

You sit with seatbelt fastened,

there’s a bumpy, rumbling sound-

The wheels are making contact,

and the plane is on the ground!

At last the doors are opening.

Then out you come with smiles.

So give a cheer. Hooray-you’re here!

You’ve flown for miles and miles.
