In 2006, new episodes were produced featuring new characters, including a red Latino plane named Lina.

The mysteries segment is followed by a story pulled from the original version of the series, making the "new" episodes a repackaging of a new format with old episodes tacked on to the end.

In Portuguese it is called "Jay Jay, o Jatinho" [1].

A possible inspiration for the show is Budgie the Little Helicopter, which also had a show of its own. Budgie the Little Helicopter is a series of childrens books and animated TV series relating to a fictional character Budgie and his friends. ...

Before the well-known animated serieses there was a short non-animated series made in or around 1994, where the characters were still images of real models and did not talk [2] [3]. It contained 3 videos: Jay Jay's First Flight, Old Oscar Leads the Parade, and Tracy's Handy Hideout.

How the series was produced

The series was produced by Modern Cartoons in their works in Oxnard, California, USA. Unlike Thomas the Tank Engine, this series used a mixture of techniques: Nickname: Location in Ventura County and the state of California Coordinates: , Country United States State California County Ventura County Government  - Mayor Dr. Thomas E. Holden Area  - City  36. ... Thomas the Tank Engine This article is about the fictional tank engine. ...

• The backgrounds were miniature sets (usually built on 2 4'x8' sheets of plywood)
• Brenda Blue was a live action actress shot in front of a greenscreen
• The planes were computer models created in Maya and a propietary software.
• The movement of the planes was recorded by playing out the scene with wood models that had magetic position sensors. The planes had a switch to aid landing and taxiing, due to some minor fluctuations in the magetic positioning data.
• The planes' faces and lip synching were done by "face tracking". This is a technique where reflective spots are put on a voice actor's face. The voice track is being digitally recorded along with the spot data. Then using a form of parametric animation the face is rendered.
• Head movement and other effects were done by joysticks.

Miscellaneous

• Consistency between some of the episodes depends on the order of the episodes. For example, one episode says that Snuffy has not flown further away from Tarrytown than Lightning Bug Lake, but other episodes show him flying much further; in "Catch the Buzz" Snuffy still has not got rid of his original shyness, but in many other episodes he shows no sign of shyness.
• Sometimes the planes taxi on the town streets.
• Each episode contains one or more songs. Each song only seems to occur in one episode.
• The theme songs lyrics are: "The sun is rising high up over Tarrytown, with friends taking off and friends touching down. That's where you'll find, that one-of-a-kind, Jay Jay. Jay Jay the Jet Plane. Never been another little guy like this, so much in love with the sky like this. So buckle up tight, it's a magical flight with Jay Jay. Jay Jay the Jet Plane. 'That's me!'".
