Flight Squad (also known as Air Academy in France) is a 2000 Canadian-French, action-adventure, animated, television series. Although it is mainly traditional animation, there is also CG of the various aircraft in it. It is the co-creation of Olivier Marvaud and David Faure. Co-production is by CINAR corporation (currently WildBrain), AnteFilms Productions, and Neurones Animation. It ran for a single season of 26 episodes. While the whole series aired on the French Teletoon channel, only a majority of it was aired on the English Teletoon channel. For some reason, while 15 of the episodes aired there, 11 others didn't. It is uncertain and unconfirmed whether the unaired episodes even ever received English dubs or not. The orders of which they aired and the air dates on each of those channels are different from each other, making them inconsistent and confusing, including the production orders differing from the airing orders.
Plot[]
A former air delivery pilot for the CPS (Canadian Parcel Service) now runs an aviation school where he trains a few, aspiring, daredevil aviators. As they aim to reach their goal, they carry out deliveries, assist others in urgency, and tussle with, and put a stop to the plans of ruthless mercenaries.
