Trivia

It is revealed that Mr. Grumpy had worked in the airline service for 30 years, which the show's debut came out as a milestone for some of the Mr. Men that was published in 1978. Mr. Grumpy is one of those characters. This raises the question of exactly how old Mr. Grumpy is.
- Because one needs to be 18 to become a flight attendant, Mr. Grumpy is at least 48 years old.
Despite the segment being cut in the UK version, Mr. Bump and Miss Helpful's plot was given a UK dub and was made available online on the official website.
A map of Dillydale was probably shown multiple times, and there were two cities on the map.
Like with Physical and Farm, Mr. Bump's voice in the US dub sounds different from his later appearances. This means that it was one of the first episodes to be produced.
The UK version from the official channel shows a thumbnail from Airports.
Mr. Bump falling without a parachute might possibly be a reference to the Mr. Men and Little Miss episode, "Mr. Clever's Daft Bet".

Goofs

Miss Sunshine's hair braids phase through her seat.
Mr. Rude and Miss Chatterbox vanished when Mr. Persnickety is talking to Mr. Grumpy.
The shadows on the seats became darker in the next second before.
Mr. Grumpy seems to be farther away after talking to Mr. Rude the second time, as he's that close.
The balloon basket is bigger in the inside than it's depicted.
Despite Miss Calamity puncturing the balloon, it was never seen deflated.
It's unknown where the pig came from, as one was never seen with Miss Calamity after passing the farm.
