“Jet planes don't have to stop for cows!”
― Thomas

Thomas and the Jet Plane is the third episode of the tenth series.

Plot

While Thomas is on his way to take a group of children to a picnic, he meets a jet plane named Jeremy who states about how wonderful it is being a jet plane. Thomas thinks that Jeremy is being boastful and decides he does not want to talk to him again. Thomas becomes even more upset when he has to stop for a signal and wait for a cow blocking the line to move. When Thomas arrives at the picnic, he recaps the day's events to Percy. Despite Percy's attempts to comfort Thomas and tell him about things engines can do, Thomas is still sad.

Meanwhile, Jeremy notices a storm brewing and warns Thomas about it. Thomas picks up the children once he finds out and despite his reluctance asks if they can have the picnic in Jeremy's hangar. Jeremy agrees and he and Thomas soon become good friends, while the Fat Controller praises Thomas and Jeremy for saving the picnic.
