An Airplane appears in the Elmo's World "Transportation" episode. The airplane boasts that he could go faster than other vehicles, and explains how all forms of transportation require someone to operate them.
The Airplane's eyes appear on his windshield. Uniquely, he also has a horn, which sounds like an antique car horn. Planes don't typically have horns, because there's nothing to honk at in mid-air.
The puppet would later be reused as Amelia the Airplane (with an added propeller, performed by Stephanie D'Abruzzo) in Episode 5128. The puppet was then seen in the My Sesame Street Friends episodes "My Elmo: Transportation," played by Pam Arciero, "My Elmo: Machines" and "My Elmo: Vehicles," played by Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, and "My Abby: Vehicles," played by Tyler Bunch.
