Andy's Adventures
Together with his best friend Yeager, a loyal and energetic (though occasionall
y discombobulated) Black footed ferret, Andy undertakes a series of exciting,
adventures in which he pilots an endless variety of airplanes to some of the world's
most exotic and intriguing destinations. At each stop, Andy and Yeager meet interest-
ing and helpful local residents who guide their adventure along while educating them
about local cultures, attractions, and imagination-sparking aviation and scientific topics.

World Premiere
In the July 23 series debut, Andy and Yeager fly with the legendary Blue Angels and
tour the Navy's newest Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan.
Episode two takes viewers on an exciting trip to Hawaii-the land of volcanoes-with
Andy piloting a Grumman Albatross seaplane. Episode three finds Andy crossing the
Atlantic Ocean to learn about Charles Lindberg's historic transatlantic flight from
New York to Paris, which changed the world of aviation and created a new era of trust
in air travel.
The Origins of Andy
Andy's Airplaneswas conceived and created by aviation flight instructor and television
producer Jon Pierre Francia, whose passion for aviation and for seeing the spark of
learning in children's eyes led to the creation of Andy (and Yeager). Prior to creating
Andy's Airplanes, Mr. Francia was the producer of another popular series Signingtime,
which has become a PBS series. Mr. Francia was responsible for executive producing,
writing, editing, directing and marketing the first three episodes of Signingtime and
became dedicated to the world of educating children and making a difference in the
lives of families in nearly every corner of the world. I would get calls almost every
day from parents thanking me for what I had created and for what it had done for
their children, explained Francia. When I contemplated doing another series, I knew
I had to do something where I could continue making a real difference. And so,
Andy's Airplaneswas born.
Andy's Airplanesis a mixture of Mr. Francia's passion for aviation and love of
educating and entertaining children. Added Francia, the fun thing for me is the
opportunity we have in this series to explore the world in a fascinating new way for
both children and parents. And, we get to do it in a way that is real and tangible;
we get to use the greatest vehicle for adventure and travel there is besides our
imaginations-the airplane.
Positive Appeal for Parents and their Children
Andy's Airplanesis designed to appeal to parents as well as children. Unlike many of

toward parenthood and other social institutions, Andy's Airplanes maintains a
wholesome, positive and uplifting approach to life. Andy himself is portrayed as
a considerate, kind and respectful child-albeit one with an extraordinarily precocious
imagination. Language and references are uniformly clean and befitting of what should
be the relative innocence of 3- to 8-year-old children. At the same time, the show's
characters are developed as real individuals who must confront certain challenges and
decisions in life-but again in a simple, uncomplicated manner that children of that age
group can understand
In addition to providing young viewers with a friendly, yet educational look at the world
around them, another goal of Andy's Airplanes is to team up with the aviation commu-
nity to create excitement and a sense of security about today's world of aviation with
a whole new generation of potential pilots. Concluded Francia, through Andy, we hope
to inspire millions of children around the world to reach out to one another and under-
stand who their global neighbors are in a fun and adventure filled way and, of course,
to imbue them with a passion for flying.
Soon to be released on DVD for home and classroom viewing, Andy's Airplanes will
debut July 23, 2007 at a 3:00 p.m. press conference at the following location:
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh
Wittman Regional Airport
Skyscape Theatre Booth S28

In addition, Andy's Airplanes will host a number of fun, family-friendly activities
