Production notes

3D animation.

Dallas-based entrepreneur David Michel, the creator of the series, left a lucrative career as a healthcare marketing executive in 1994 to produce a wholesome new video series of role-modeling characters for pre-schoolers. The genesis of airplane characters arose from Michel's "million-miler" status flying on business trips and his three-year-old son's fascination with aviation. Motivated by a desire to provide high-quality non-violent entertainment for TV's youngest viewers, Michel poured his life savings into the creation of three "Jay Jay the Jet Plane" home videos. His company, WonderWings.com Entertainment, sold thousands of videos directly to consumers and garnered 12 national awards for excellence in children's programming. Seven years later, "Jay Jay the Jet Plane" premiered on PBS Kids as a daily "Ready to Learn" series.
