During Dusty's training, he also strikes up a friendship with Sparky, who is revealed to have the same kind of humor as he is alive to any kind of idea concerning merchandise for Dusty, even setting up a website together.

Profiles and statistics

  • Official bio
    • "Fuel truck Chug is a guy's guy. He works hard as co-owner of Chug and Dottie's Fill 'n Fly service station—and plays hard indulging in his own fuel from time to time. He has a big personality and is a bold supporter of Dusty's high-flying endeavors. Indeed, he's not only Dusty's buddy, he's his coach and biggest fan. And if Chug can't help Dusty reach new heights, he'll find someone who can."[1]

Trivia

  • He is inspired by Bob Leaders' disused fuel truck that was found in a grove of evergreen trees when the filmmakers traveled to Leaders Clear Lake Airport in Minnesota while touring regional airports in the Midwest for inspiration for their Propwash Junction setting.
  • Chug appears to be a 1947 Chevrolet Advance-Design 3800 judging by the shape of his grille.[2][3]
