Super Wings is a children's animated series that focuses on the adventures of Jett, a plane who delivers packages to children around the world. In season 2 episode 30, titled "The Dragon Flies," Jett and his friends are called to China to help a young girl named Mei. Mei is participating in a kite-flying competition, where the prize is a golden kite in the shape of a dragon. Mei's homemade kite, which is also in the shape of a dragon, is not flying very well, and she is worried that she will not be able to win the competition.
Jett and his friends offer to help Mei make her kite fly better. They soon discover that the kite's tail is too heavy, making it difficult to stay up in the air. They decide to go to the nearby bamboo forest and gather some lightweight bamboo to use for a new tail. As they fly back to Mei's house with the bamboo, they notice that the forest is on fire!
Jett and his friends quickly realize that they cannot put out the fire on their own. They call for backup from Donnie, who arrives with his new firefighting tools. Donnie is able to put out the fire with his water hose and extinguisher, but the group soon realizes that the fire was intentionally set by a greedy kite-flying team who wanted to win the golden dragon kite for themselves.
The Super Wings decide to help Mei and her family protect their home and kite from the villainous kite team. They use the bamboo they gathered earlier to build a fence around Mei's home and kite, which successfully keeps the bad guys out. As the kite-flying competition begins, the villainous team does everything they can to cheat and win the competition. However, Mei and Jett's teamwork, along with Donnie's new firefighting tools, help them prevail and win the golden dragon kite.
In the end, Jett and his friends celebrate their victory with Mei and her family. They have a great time flying kites and enjoying the beautiful Chinese scenery. The Super Wings team reminds viewers that teamwork, determination, and friendship can help overcome any obstacle. This episode also encourages children to appreciate and respect different cultures around the world.
