Van Der Bird

Van Der Bird is a racing plane from the Netherlands taking part in the WATG Rally.
==History==
He is seen in many shots of the racers throughout the movie. He is strangely not seen in the Wings Around the Globe pit row at John F. Kennedy International Airport despite his tent appearing there, although it could be that he was somewhere else at the time. When Dusty is broken and needs repairs, Van Der Bird gives him supplies.
==Model==
He is modeled after a Pitts Special S1-S.
