Thomas likes
to go fast.

Gordon thinks
he is faster.

 

Thomas must take
a jet engine
to the airport.

 

A jet engine goes
by pushing hot air
out its back.

 

It is like a balloon
full of air.

 

When you let it go,
off it zooms.

 

Cranky does not look.
His hook bumps
the switch.

Click!

 

The jet engine
starts up!

Vroom! Vroom!

 

The jet engine rockets
Thomas up the track.

Zoom! Zoom!

 

Clear the lines!

 

Runaway train!

 

Thomas passes Percy.
Whoosh!

 

Thomas passes Henry.
Whoosh!

 

Hi, Gordon!
Vroom!

 

Bye, Gordon!
Zoom!

 

At last,
the jet engine runs
out of fuel.
Phew!

 

Thomas chuffs
to the airport
on his own steam!

Peep! Peep!

 

Back at the Shed,
Gordon ignores Thomas.

Humph!

 

Gordon may not be
a jet engine …

 

 … but he is
full of hot air!
