Flight Squad

Flight Squad (a.k.a. Air Academy in France) is a 2000 Canadian-French, animated, television series. It was co-produced by what is formerly known as CINAR (later Cookie Jar Group and currently WildBrain), Neurones, and Teletoon. Animation production was by Antefilms Productions with production services by Andre Lee Productions (as Andre Production), Luxanimation (as Luxanima), Studio Anime, and Toonimage. While the whole series was aired on the French Teletoon channel, only 15 of the episodes ever aired on the English Teletoon and it is uncertain whether or not the remaining 11 episodes that didn't air there even received an English dub. It's also one of those cases in which the production order of episodes differ from the airing order, leading to confusion and complications.

Plot
A former air pilot for the Canadian Secret Service runs an aviation school for a few aspiring, daredevil pilots. They also work for an independent air services company. In addition to that, they deliver parcels by air mail, tussle with missionaries, and offer assistance to others whenever they're in need.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) While the series contains mainly traditional animation, it also has CGI for the various aircrafts. Both the 2D and CG animation look fine, and the animation flows well throughout most of it.
 * 2) Excellent writing that gives the episodes exciting storylines.
 * 3) The characters, especially the main ones, are portrayed well in their likability, awesomeness, and memorability due to their courageous actions, uprightness, and altruism.
 * 4) The character designs look realistically normal.
 * 5) The intro features a nicely subdued, instrumental theme song.
 * 6) The voice work in the English dub is alright.
 * 7) Some humorous moments, most notably from the flying squirrel pet and mascot, Parachute.
 * 8) Several, satisfying, action sequences with the flying vehicles that will keep one's attention the whole time.
 * 9) Some inspirational messages, like in one episode when Emma has to find the nerve to jump out of a plane and parachute or skydive back down to the ground safely.
 * 10) It's especially a perfect show for aspiring aviators to watch and from which to learn. It depicts the aviation field accurately enough.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) In the middle of the episode, "Skynapped!", the video and audio go out-of-sync.
 * 2) Not releasing the entire series on the English version of Teletoon for some reason unknown to some.
 * 3) The aforementioned order of the episodes by production differing from the air date order.
